Description
The Table command has three forms:
• If you pass a table number in tableNum, Table returns a pointer to the table.
• If you pass a table pointer in aPtr, Table returns the table number of the table.
• If you pass a field pointer in aPtr, Table returns the table number of the field.
Examples
1. This example sets the tablePtr variable to a pointer to the third table of the database:
TablePtr:=Table(3)
2. Passing tablePtr (a pointer to the third table) to Table returns the number 3. The following line sets TableNum to 3:
TableNum:=Table(TablePtr)
3. This example sets the tableNum variable to the table number of [Table3]:
TableNum:=Table(->[Table3])
4. This example sets the tableNum variable to the table number of the table to which the [Table3]Field1 field belongs:
TableNum:=Table (->[Table3]Field1)
