The Meta Data Dictionary file contains detailed information about the Fields in FileMan Files. The information is retrieved from
the installed data dictionaries by running the 'Update the META Data Dictionary' Option on the Data Dictionary Utilities menu.
That option runs the DDD routine.

.9,.01 NAME 0;1 FREE TEXT (Required)
INPUT TRANSFORM: K:$L(X)>150!($L(X)<3)!'(X'?1P.E) X
MAXIMUM LENGTH: 150
LAST EDITED: FEB 11, 2016
HELP-PROMPT: Enter NAME as a combination of the FILENAME_FIELDNAME being referenced.
DESCRIPTION: The NAME is a unique combination of FILENAME_FIELDNAME used to map file data structures. Examples:
NEW PERSON_DEFINED FORMATS FOR LM NEW PERSON_DEFINED FORMATS FOR LM_DEFAULT
CROSS-REFERENCE: .9^B
1)= S ^DDD("B",$E(X,1,150),DA)=""
2)= K ^DDD("B",$E(X,1,150),DA)
.9,.02 LOOKUP TERM 0;2 FREE TEXT
INPUT TRANSFORM: K:$L(X)>30!($L(X)<2) X
LAST EDITED: NOV 01, 2002
HELP-PROMPT: Answer must be 2-30 characters in length
DESCRIPTION:
The name of the FIELD (LABEL). Built by the DDD routine.
CROSS-REFERENCE: .9^C
1)= S ^DDD("C",$E(X,1,30),DA)=""
2)= K ^DDD("C",$E(X,1,30),DA)
The C cross-reference is a regular cross-reference on the LOOKUP TERM field, supporting lookups on
Field Labels.
.9,.03 DATA DICTIONARY NUMBER 0;3 NUMBER
INPUT TRANSFORM: K:+X'=X!(X>999999999999999)!(X<0)!(X?.E1"."7.N) X
LAST EDITED: NOV 01, 2002
HELP-PROMPT: Type a number between 0 and 999999999999999
DESCRIPTION:
The number of the FILE in which the FIELD is found. Built by the DDD routine.
CROSS-REFERENCE: .9^AFF^MUMPS
1)= N Y S Y=$P(^DDD(DA,0),U,4) S:Y ^DDD("AFF",$E(X,1,30),Y,DA)=""
2)= N Y S Y=$P(^DDD(DA,0),U,4) K:Y ^DDD("AFF",$E(X,1,30),Y,DA)
3)= MULTIPLE CROSS-REF OF FILE,FIELD
The AFF cross-reference is a multi-field MUMPS cross-reference based on the DATA DICTIONARY NUMBER
and FIELD NUMBER fields. It stores data into the same location as the AFF2 cross-reference on the
FIELD NUMBER field. Its structure is: ^DDD("AFF",file_number,field_number,IEN)
.9,.04 FIELD NUMBER 0;4 NUMBER
INPUT TRANSFORM: K:+X'=X!(X>99999999999)!(X<.001)!(X?.E1"."7.N) X
LAST EDITED: NOV 02, 2002
HELP-PROMPT: Type a number between .001 and 99999999999
DESCRIPTION:
The number of the FIELD in the relevant FileMan File. Built by the DDD routine.
CROSS-REFERENCE: .9^AFF2^MUMPS
1)= N Y S Y=$P(^DDD(DA,0),U,3) S:Y ^DDD("AFF",Y,$E(X,1,30),DA)=""
2)= N Y S Y=$P(^DDD(DA,0),U,3) K:Y ^DDD("AFF",Y,$E(X,1,30),DA)
3)= FILE-FIELD XREF
The AFF2 cross-reference is a multi-field MUMPS cross-reference based on the DATA DICTIONARY NUMBER
and FIELD NUMBER fields. It stores data into the same location as the AFF cross-reference on the
DATA DICTIONARY NUMBER field. Its structure is: ^DDD("AFF",file_number,field_number,IEN)
.9,.05 DATA 0;5 SET
'1' FOR YES;
LAST EDITED: NOV 04, 2015
HELP-PROMPT: Enter "YES" if this is actually the name of some entry in a FileMan file.
DESCRIPTION: Not yet used. If this flag were set (to "1") it would indicate that this entry in the
Meta-Data-Dictionary is actually an ENTRY in a data file, not a FIELD. This might be useful in the
future if the Meta-Data-Dictionary were used as a kind of "Google search" on items of interest
other than field names.
.9,.06 OBJECT NAME 0;6 FREE TEXT
INPUT TRANSFORM: K:$L(X)>150!($L(X)<3)!'(X'?1P.E) X
MAXIMUM LENGTH: 150
LAST EDITED: FEB 11, 2016
HELP-PROMPT: Enter this record's NAME field using camel case notation.
DESCRIPTION: The OBJECT NAME is the NAME field (.01) converted to camel case notation. The OBJECT NAME will be
used to connect to data files and fields. Examples: newPerson.definedFormatsForLm
newPerson.definedFormatsForLm.default
CROSS-REFERENCE: .9^D
1)= S ^DDD("D",$E(X,1,150),DA)=""
2)= K ^DDD("D",$E(X,1,150),DA)
The D cross reference is to give developers a quick file.field lookup in camel case notation to
connect to data files and fields.
.9,.07 LAST UPDATED 0;7 DATE
INPUT TRANSFORM: S %DT="ESTR" D ^%DT S X=Y K:Y<1 X
LAST EDITED: FEB 10, 2016
HELP-PROMPT: Enter the date/time of the most recent update to this record

MUMPS CODE: S %=^DDD(D0,0),X="" D BUILDS^DDD($P(%,U,3),$P(%,U,4))
DESCRIPTION: This multiple computed field returns, from the BUILD File (9.6) a list of all the KIDS Builds that
have explicitly transported this data field on this system.
