2436.1We need help. Customer is waiting.STRASB::EBLEMon Mar 09 1992 15:198
    Hi,
    
    Is it a so difficult question ?
    I thought customisation was a main goal in this product ???
    Is it possible to get a copy of the MSL for our access modules ?
    
    Help.

It may not be a difficult question, but all of the developers are busy
trying to finish V1.2, and so may be slow in answering notes questions.
If you are working with a V1.2 field test customer, please file a QAR
using the customer's QAR account, and it will get more quickly to the
attention of the relevant developer.

2436.3ideas for creating com ileTOOK::CALLANDERMCC = My Constant CompanionTue Mar 31 1992 21:5410
    you can get yourself some new codes by requesting the from the
    registrar, or continue with your best guess approach to picking a
    number. 
    
    As to the easy way to change the reference attribute names, I am sorry
    to say that there is no automated procedure to do it right now. But...
    you could potentially write a command procedure that uses the .log file
    created by a parse table build to create the .MS file you need for
    updating the dictionary.

    Hi,
    
    	yes I think it's more secure to get new codes more or less
    automatically.

    But how could you do that ?
                                                               
    Another question is about the "GENERAL" global entity that you see
    under DAP. What is it ?
    
    Thanks.

  This global class is used in the v1.2 product to provide what we have
  been calling "poor-man's inheritance".  This class contains all the 
  directives for the Export and Historian FM.  These directives 
  are automatically (automagically) inherited by every other global and
  child class in the dictionary.

  This global class is PRIVATE to the Historian and Exporter FMs.  It is
  NOT to be used by other products.  The DECmcc Registrar has been instructed
  to only allow Historian and Exporter directives under this class.  

  In future versions of DECmcc we intend to officially supply and support 
  dictionary inheritance.

                                                                      - Jerry

  P.S. I know what your thinking -- If it's so PRIVATE why is it called the
       GENERAL class -- right?  Sorry, there's no good answer to that question!
       ;)

That mail address does not exist on TOOK.  I'd recommend you go with
DSSR::MCC.
