HI Priya,

 

You have to define a dbd file that includes all the record and menu types you need in your application, and then point VDCT at that. Often, this is just a case of putting statements like:

 

 

DBD += <name>.dbd

<name>_DBD += <file1>.dbd <file2>.dbd ...

 

… into the Makefile in the application src directory. These then just get built into a single file called <name>.dbd in the dbd directory, and you can point your version of VDCT at that. However, you do have to do an initial make to create the file before you can run vdct.

 

You can also hand craft a default site-wide .dbd and use that.

 

More information is in the manual:
