# Create GENERAL Report Writer Files

The GENERAL Report Writer Dictionary consists of file definitions and reports for use with GENERAL Report Writer. These files are created using functions within GENERAL Report Writer, and are then split up by running GNSPLIT. This program is found on the GENERAL Report Writer media, and splits an application’s dictionaries and reports into GEN4MST.xxD and GEN4MST.xxR files. These files can then be included in the xxRWDATA.ZIP files for installation. The installation process then merges these files into GEN4MST.
