Description
The DBD() function returns the file name of the currently active data dictionary or an empty string if none is active. If the optional <workarea | alias> is specified, then the function will return the data dictionary file name from the specified workarea. The DBDF() function returns a character string, including the file extension. If the command FULLPATH is set ON, then the DBD() function will return the disk and directory name with the data dictionary file name.
Example
