Clarion Multi Dct / Dll Example

A great deal of Clarions strength as a database programming language comes from the depth of its Data Dictionary functionality.
A well thought out and defined data dictionary greatly eases the development of a project for a multitude of different reasons not least of which is that it forces the developer to think about field types, keys and table relationships before they climb into coding.

Having said that, the applications in this example are tiny as are their dictionaries with only 1 table each. The purpose of this example is to show how to link more than 1 dictionary into 1 application. This might be useful if for example you have 2 or more large systems with very separate functionality and only a few tables in common. This example shows how you could use tables from any number of dictionaries in 1 application without having to combine the tables into 1 dictionary or create a separate dictionary with only the tables that this application needs.

Please note no support is provided for this example code. However time permiting we will try to respond to questions.
