CL Command Reference - LNKDTADFN

CL Command List > LNKDTADFN Reference

Description:

The Link Data Definition (LNKDTADFN) command links or unlinks file definitions in a dictionary, program-described files, or externally-described files.

Restriction: A file cannot be linked if it is already linked. However, a definition can be linked to several files at the same time.

Note: If file text and the file definition are not the same, a new version of the definition is created.


Examples:

LNKDTADFN OPTION(*LINK) FILE(MYLIB/MYFILE)
DTADCT(MINE) DFN(MYDEF)

This command links definition MYDEF in dictionary MINE, to the program-described database file MYFILE located in library MYLIB.
