I created a symbolic in the SYSDICT using version 4.1.3 I modified the symbolic using version 7.1.1 The test symbolic did display success.

When I use RLIST I definately know the modification did not take. Does anyone have this problem also?

I usually create the dictionary item in another non system file then copy the record back into dict.sysdict

Works every time.

Richard,

Paul is correct. One cannot write directly to the SYSDICT file. One must create the item in a different table and copy the field to the SYSDICT table.
