OCR: FILE DICTIONARY The third level of the Pick System is the FILE DICTIONARY". File dictionaries contain attribute definition items which tell the system how the data is stored in the associated data files. In general, every file has a DICTIONARY" which describes it.

This is why the Pick System is known as a Relational Database System.
