Property :: dictionary - Dictionary property

The property provides the dictionary handle for the current property handle. For transient references the function returns the dictionary handle that is associated with the transient reference property and not the dictionary handle of the property handle, which currently set in the transient reference, which might in some cases belong to another dictionary.

When the property handle is invalid or when it refers to a transient application property that do not have a database property parent, the function will throw an exception.

Return value:  Dictionary handle ( odaba::Dictionary & )

The dictionary handle usually refers to an opened dictionary. Calling functions with invalid dictionary handles may cause an exception. For checking the dictionary handle, isValid() can be called.
