*.DICT

UAPPL.DICT

Stores definition of: Application Shells.

Occurrence identified by:Name of the application shell.

Occurrence also includes: Properties and contents for application-level code containers.

UCDTYP.DICT

Stores definition of: Uniface DTDs.

Occurrence identified by: Name of the DTD, and the model name.

Remarks: A runtime Uniface DTD is a compiled object. Although it has a .dtd extension, it is not a normal text DTD file.

UCFIELD.DICT

Stores definition of: Modeled Fields.

Occurrence identified by: Name of the field, its parent entity, and the model name.

Occurrence also includes: Properties, and the content of its code containers. For more information, see Field.

UCGROUP.DICT

Stores definition of: Modeled Entities.

Occurrence identified by: Name of the Entity Subtype.

Occurrence also includes: Information that is inherited when the subtype is inserted in a Component's data structure, including:

• Name of the related supertype entity.
• Default path associated with the subtype. Only the default path on the actual entity is used. (The default path is defined in the Database Path property. This is the first step in the path from the entity to a table or file in the target DBMS.)
• Entity interface definitions for the subtype.
• Contents of entity-level code containers.

Remarks: Every Modeled Entity, even if it has no subtype, occurs in UCGROUP as a subtype of itself. Each occurrence is identified by the name of the subtype to which it is related.

When you create a Modeled Entity, an occurrence is created in both UCTABLE and UCGROUP. Each new subtype that you define for an entity results in a new occurrence in UCGROUP.

UCKEY.DICT

Stores definition of: Keys of Modeled Entities (primary, candidate, and index).

Occurrence identified by: Name of the parent entity, its model name, and the key sequence number.

Occurrence also includes: List of key fields and an indication of the key type (that is, whether this is a primary key or an index).

UCRELSH.DICT

Stores definition of: Relationships between Modeled Entity Subtypes.

Occurrence identified by: Name and model name of the subtype for the one entity, and the subtype of the many entity. (In other words, UCRELSH is used to implement the many-to-many relationship of UCGROUP, which contains the entity subtypes, with itself.)

Occurrence also includes:

• List of fields in the many entity that make up the foreign key.
• Indication of whether a DBMS index should be created for the foreign key in the table or file associated with the many entity.
• Delete constraint to be implemented for the relationship.

UCTABLE.DICT

Stores definition of: Modeled Entities.

Occurrence identified by: Name and model name of the subtype for the entity.

Remarks: Assignments for DBMS entities operate on the entity name from UCTABLE, rather than the subtype name from UCGROUP.

Remarks: Overflow table or file not supported.

UMSG.DICT

USIMPL.DICT

Stores definition of: Implementations for a given component interface.

Occurrence identified by: Name and type of the implementation, and contains the name of its parent component interface and an identifier.

This identifier is used at deployment time to check that the source implementation (the activating component) is synchronized with the target component interface (the activated component), that is, that their corresponding operations and parameters match.

Remarks: For each component interface (the abstract model of the component), there can be:

• At the least, no implementations, meaning the component exists only as an interface model.
• At the most, one implementation for each supported type (that is, a Uniface component, 3GL routine, or operating system service).

USIOPER.DICT

Stores definition of: Operations belonging to component implementations.

Occurrence identified by: Operation name, and the implementation name and type (see USIMPL.DICT).

Occurrence also includes:

• The literal, case- and context-sensitive physical function name to be used for 3GL and O/S implementations.
• The return method to be used (for example, in $status, in the nth parameter, or ‘as void’).
• The body of the operation (for example, actual Uniface ProcScript, or implementation of a C++ class method).

USIPARM.DICT

Stores definition of: Parameters belonging to a given operation of a component implementation.

Occurrence identified by: Parameter name, operation name, and the name and type of the implementation (see USIMPL).

Occurrence also includes:

• Interface template or shorthand describing a packing code, which provides a mapping of the Uniface logical data type to the physical, implemented data type.

USITEM.DICT

USSPEC.DICT

Stores definition of: Component interfaces (the modeled, abstract specifications for components).

Occurrence identified by: Component interface name.

Occurrence also includes:

• An identifier which is used at run time to check that the source component implementation is synchronized with the target component interface, that is, that their corresponding operations and parameters match.
• The default implementation type, specified by the signature editor or component compiler.
• The communication default (that is, synchronous or asynchronous).

UXFIELD.DICT

Stores definition of: Component Fields.

In addition, it contains occurrences for the fields of the header, trailer, break, and area frames that you paint on a component, as well as the fields for areas of the application shell screen that you paint for character mode applications.
