Use the Dictionary Testing screen to make sure that a dictionary item displays correctly. You can test the dictionary item in one record, multiple records, or all records within a file. You can also list all selected records or just the records that contain a value in the field.
To test a dictionary item:
From the Maintenance > Eclipse Dictionary menu, select Dictionary Maintenance to display the Eclipse Dictionary Maintenance screen.
Note: If prompted, log on to the character-based system.
Complete the File Name and Dict ID fields for the item to be tested.
Use the Test hot key to display the Dictionary Testing screen.
In the File IDs field, do one of the following:
To test one record, enter the record ID.
To test multiple records, use the IDs hot key.
To test all IDs, leave this field blank.
To list only those fields with values, enter N in the Show Blank Values field. The default value is Y.
Use the Begin hot key to perform the test.
The system displays a terminal control language (TCL) list of the results.
Press any key to scroll through the list.
Enter Q to exit the list and return to the Eclipse Dictionary Maintenance screen.
Press Esc to exit the Dictionary Maintenance screen.
