Is there any definitive documentation for - 'The Master Dictionary (MD)' other than what is at the back of the CTO documentation (Who would have thunk it was there :wink:) and of course this SRP Doc reference

not sure if 'definitive ' was the right word, but, it sounded pretty cool.

Hi, Barry. I definitely don't think there's any additional documentation, other than what you've already discovered…Though if you have specific questions, I can answer them definitively for you :-)

If I know Barry, he likes "definitive documentation" because he is always curious about the full capabilities of a feature. At times we find out about undocumented or under documented features through forum posts, and even then it isn't the whole story.

This isn't meant to be a criticism, but merely a statement about our curiosity and eagerness to learn everything that OpenInsight has to offer.

Since we are talking about using the MD…

Fi you have an AREV32 function or subroutine that doesn't use the presentation layer, that is, no MSG, or Window Common, etc, then you can make it available to OpenInsight just by copying the VOC record to the MD table.
