Specifying a Table Object

If you know and wish to specify the name of a Table Object in an Identify screen, you can simply type the name in the Table Object field.

It is not necessary to modify the Data Table Library field and the View Library field in order to specify a Table Object. If you modify the name in the Table Object field, the libraries containing the View and Data Table will automatically be inserted in the Data Table Library and the View Library fields when the Table Object is found.

If tablesONLINE cannot find a Table Object that you know exists, clear both the Table Library and View Library fields and press <ENTER>.

Table Lists

To display a list of all Table Objects in the specified library, clear the Table Object field and press <PF1>.

To see a list of the Table Objects in all of the authorized libraries, clear the Data Table Library field and the View Library field and press <PF1>, with the cursor in the Table Object field. This displays a list of all Table Objects.

To select a Table Object from the list, place the cursor beside the row and press <Enter> or use the S line command.

To limit the list of Table Objects, an asterisk can be used to replace the characters in the Table Object name. For example, T*B* will list all Table Objects whose name contains a T in the first position and a B in the third position.
