This independent utility compiles a thesaurus definition file. After running the thesaurus compiler, the THESAURUS-related features of the search argument syntax can be used.
Authorization
None. This command is not necessarily restricted for the table owner, but makes only sense in the context of querying.

Command parameters
The thesaurus dictionary is generated in the same directory as the definition file and has the same name. The only difference is that the dictionary has the following extensions: wdf, wdv, grf, grv, MEY, ROS, NEY, SOS, and Ikn, where n is a digit. Note that if existing thesaurus files have the same name, they are overwritten.
Usage
Use this command to compile a thesaurus definition file into a binary thesaurus definition format.
