Description
The dumpdictionary statement returns a carriage return separated array of dictionary keys and values. Each line contains a key/value pair.

specifications=initializedictionary("Color","Blue","Shape","Oval","Depth",3)
dumpdictionary specifications,specDump
At the end of this procedure, the specDump variable will contain:
Color=Blue
Shape=Oval
