I got some DTR procedures from a customer to try to test out some
problem, when I repeat what the customer did, I got :
$ mc dtr32
DEC DATATRIEVE V6.1
Digital Query and Report System
Type HELP for help
DTR> set dictionary cdd$top.uat.td
Element "CDD$TOP.UAT.TD" not found in dictionary. <-- error 1
DTR> @tdmast_rec.dtr
Element "TDMAST_REC" not found in dictionary. <-- error 2
[Record is 160 bytes long.]
DTR> exit
please tell me exactly what I need to do to remove these errors.
I do not even have any DTR documents on hand.
Is the customer supposed to give me a procedure to define the elements
in the dictionary and to create the dictionary and to create the
domains ? in what order ? please inform me if I have missed out
any steps.

The SET DICTIONARY command is failing because you don't have a
sub-dictionary TD in sub-dictionary UAT in CDD$TOP.
Do this:
DTR> SET DICTIONARY CDD$TOP
DTR> DEFINE DICTIONARY UAT
DTR> SET DICTIONARY UAT
DTR> DEFINE DICTIONARY TD
and then you can issue the SET DICTIONARY CDD$TOP.UAT.TD command.
The second error is tough to solve right now. Can you post the
TDMAST_REC.DTR file, or make it available for copying over the
network if it's too big to post?

And regarding the "element not found" error, ignore it. It's a
non-fatal error that means that there is an imbedded "delete"
command referring to a DTR object that doesn't exist.
The person who sent you the file to invoke in DTR did an
EXTRACT object ON filename
and DTR automatically added
DELETE object
as the first line in filename. DTR is just telling you that it
can't find that object to delete, but it is setting up the REC
file that you want, since it tells you how big the record def-
inition is.
If it makes you feel better, edit out the DELETE command from
the file before going into DTR and invoking via @filename, but
like I said, it's non-fatal and is working.

Yes, the firstline of tdmast_rec.dtr is in fact
DELETE TDMAST_REC; <<<<<<<<<
REDEFINE RECORD TDMAST_REC USING
01 TDMAST_REC.
