Dictionary validation; there is a new option available to run a check on your Dictionary to ensure the window and report control strings contain valid definitions. Older versions of Clarion could generate certain controls withn the Dictionary file incorrectly, this new option checks that all the control definitions are valid, and both corrects them and writes the changes it made into a log file.

To run a check on your Dictionary, open the .Dct file, then from the Main Menu choose Tools->”Check Data Dictionary Structures”.  You are prompted to confirm the operation as it can take a bit of time to complete on very large dictionary files.
