The purpose of this program is to update the Data dictionary file SROFRF with any Field reference file (FRF) that is part of an external application that is to be included in DC1.
The Field reference file contains all fields and information about the fields such as descriptive text, field length, number of digits, number of decimals and so on, within the system or an application that is to be included in DC1.
The system automatically performs the command DSPFFD (Display File Field Description) on the selected Field reference file, and creates an output file in QTEMP.
The system compares the Data dictionary file SROFRF with the output file and adds, if the information does not already exist in the SROFRF file, the field with accompanying field information to the SROFRF file.
Note: Any fields that already exist in the SROFRF file with the same four character code, will not be added to the SROFRF file. They will be printed on an error list, and have to be added manually in the Maintain FRF description routine.
