Is there a "@USER" style field within the dictionary items that I can use for internal purposes? ie. not-used by OI?
I want to manage DICT driven XSLT conversions.

Martin,
If you check out the DICT_EQUATES you'll find these equates:
EQUATE [/color]DICT_USER1$ [/color]TO [/color]41 [/color];[/color]* This field is reserved for the application. [/color]EQUATE [/color]DICT_USER2$ [/color]TO [/color]42 [/color];[/color]* "" [/color]EQUATE [/color]DICT_USER3$ [/color]TO [/color]43 [/color];[/color]* "" [/color]EQUATE [/color]DICT_USER4$ [/color]TO [/color]44 [/color];[/color]* "" [/color]EQUATE [/color]DICT_USER5$ [/color]TO [/color]45 [/color];[/color]* ""[/color][/color][/size]Keep in mind, however, that DICT.MFS will prevent you from updating these fields in a strict runtime environment. It will also prevent field position 28 (DICT_MASTER_FLAG$) from being written to and field position 35 (DICT_TIMEDATE$) will be overwritten. Other than that you should be fine.

Martin,
The comments about fields 28 and 35 were included in case you choose to create a custom dictionary record. In your case this is probably irrelevant since you are using user reserved fields for existing dictonary items. Sorry for the confusion.

Be careful of DICT_USER5 though!
