About AMDICT
The Dictionary file stores data dictionary names used to create compute statements. Each entry defines a value that you can use for depreciation and other calculations. AM550 (Dictionary Load and Listing) creates and updates this file; this program runs as part of the upgrade and conversion processes.
Fields (3)
Column = COBOL field name without the ADT- prefix, hyphens → underscores. Derived fields are computed by the application and are not stored.
