Sample schema file:

TABLE zSalesRegion {

//Table statement this is the table

// name used by

pdm_extract
id
INTEGER UNIQUE KEY;
// every table needs a primary key
last_mod_dt
LOCAL_TIME;
// TIme is stored in an integer / unix time
last_mod_by
UUID REF ca_contact; // foreign key to the ca_contact table
description STRING 1000;
// data type and size
successDirector
UUID REF ca_contact;
sym STRING 100;
}
p1 zSalesRegion -> CURR_PROV zSalesRegion;

// maps the ddict.sch table name

// to the SQL table name

Sample mod file:

description description STRING 1000;// left column is majic attribute
//

middle column is the ddict.sch table name

successDirector SREL cnt;
// "SREL" is a foreign key
sym STRING 100;

Sample mod file with trigger:

the spel method validate_userid()

method if ther record is active
