table-name

       Is the name of the dictionary table being defined.
       It must be a simple name.

    "code" : "translation"

       Is a code-and-translation pair. You must separate each pair with
       a colon. The comma after each pair is optional. If the code or
       translation conforms to the rules for DEC DATATRIEVE names given
       in the DEC DATATRIEVE User's Guide, you do not have to enclose it
       in quotation marks. However, DEC DATATRIEVE converts to uppercase
       any lowercase letters in an unquoted code or translation.

       If the code or translation does not conform to the rules for DEC
       DATATRIEVE names (especially if it contains any spaces), or if
       you want to preserve lowercase letters, you must enclose the code
       or translation in quotation marks (" ") and follow the rules for
       character string literals.

    ELSE "translation"

       Is the translation to be used if you specify a code not
       defined in the dictionary table. The rules for specifying
       this translation string are the same as those for codes and
       translations.

    END_TABLE
       Ends the dictionary table definition.
