Adding the first entries in a DBCS conversion dictionary

 

To add the first entries into a dictionary, follow these steps.

  1. Specify ENTRY(*ALL) when entering the EDTIGCDCT command. For example, to edit the dictionary QUSRIGCDCT stored in the library DBCSLIB, enter:
    EDTIGCDCT IGCDCT(DBCSLIB/QUSRIGCDCT) +
      ENTRY(*ALL)

    The system displays the Work with DBCS Conversion Dictionary display.

  2. Enter a 1 in the first option field in the list and enter an alphanumeric entry to be added to the dictionary in the entry field.

    The system then displays the Edit Related Words display showing only two lines of data: BEGINNING OF DATA and END OF DATA.

  3. Enter an I in the NBR field beside the BEGINNING OF DATA line to insert a line.

  4. Press Enter. The system displays a blank line. Figure 1. Display for Edit Related Words

  5. On the blank line, enter a DBCS word to be related to the new alphanumeric entry.

    If you enter data on the inserted line and leave the cursor on that line, another new line appears when you press the Enter key. You can enter another DBCS word on this line, or delete it by leaving it blank, and pressing the Enter key.

  6. When you finish adding this first entry, press F12 to get the Exit Dictionary Entry display. Enter the Y option to save the entry and then return to the Work With DBCS Conversion Dictionary display. Enter option 1 again and enter another alphanumeric entry in the entry field to continue adding entries to the dictionary, or press F3 to end editing the dictionary.
