961.0. "Dictionary routines" by DGOSW0::GUESDON () Fri Apr 26 1991 03:38

    I'm sorry: I've not understood the usage of the mcc_dict... routines,
    as described in the SRM.
    
    I would like to get the ID codes of the attributes that are stored in
    the CHAR Attribute partition of my entity. Is there a way to do this,
    and how... ?
    
    Thanks.

	First off, you need to understand how the dictionary is structured in other to build the dictionary specs that are used by the mcc_dict_xx() routines. For your particular case, the dictionary spec you need to build is of the following hierarchy: class instance ----- -------- MCC_K_DICT_CLASS <global entity> MCC_K_DICT_SUBCLASS <child entity> <-- this level is repeated for as many child entities as you have. MCC_K_DICT_ATTR_PARTITION MCC_K_PRT_CHAR MCC_K_DICT_DEFINITION MCC_K_DD_ATTRIBUTE_LIST The above dictionary spec is built using the mcc_aes_create routine, and then passed into mcc_k_dict_get_def_info routine. Note that the output structure will give you a count and an array of the attribute ID codes in the Char partition. Christine
