Generating INI Table Definitions Table Definitions
  INI table definitions may be generated in NOMADS Data Dictionary Maintenance by selecting Generate external/INI file contents from the Utilities menu. Select a table name and press Generate. The table entry is generated and displayed and the contents may be cut and pasted from the display, or exported to a text file.

INI table definitions may also be generated using the following program call:

CALL "*Dict/Defini",Contents$,ErrMsg$,TableName$,DDFpath$

Where:

Contents$ Returns a string containing the table definition.
ErrMsg$ Returns an error message if problems are encountered during generation, or null if successful.
TableName$ Logical name of the table for which the definition is generated.
DDFpath$ Path of the providex.ddf file containing the table definition.
   
  In the case of tables with multiple record formats, a table entry is created for each format, using the MUSTBE clause to identify the field used as the record type indicator.
