Re: Files & field layouts

["Jeff Ellsworth" <jellsworth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Customer addresses are stored in MBALREP.  I would also love a graphical
data dictionary.  Something that would show all of the files, fields, and
relationships within MAPICS.  It could be a HUGE wall chart, or something
computer based (GUI).  The users need something to understand all of the
files and relationships.
