Data Dictionary Overview

The Data Dictionary contains the data definitions for information within the software module.  You can use these data definitions, also known as Record Tables (or file layouts), when creating reports or other projects using third party reporting tools.

When looking at the data definitions you will need to know the name of the Record Table that contains the field of information you want.  You may be used to thinking in terms of file names.  Each Record Table contains a list of fields with the field name, length, and format.

Note:  For information about interpreting the data in a Record Table, see Understanding Record Tables.
