SETTABLE

SETTABLE <table_name> = <value>

table_name

The name of the currently used table as defined in the program.

value

The name of the new table that should be used as data source.

This command allows you to use some other table with the label file   and not the one, that was con-
nected to the label file at design time.This other database table will only be used when printing 
labels, the   label template will remain unmodified with connection to the original table.

The new database table must be of the same type as original table.   For example, you cannot change 
the table from dBase to Paradox. The structure   of new table has to be identical to the original one.

You can use table from the database that is already connected to the   label or from some entirely dif-
ferent database.

TEXTQUALIFIER

TEXTQUALIFIER %

Text-qualifier is the character that embeds a data value that is assigned   to a variable. If the data 
value includes space characters, it must be   included in the text-qualifier. Otherwise only the data 
until the first   encountered space character is assigned to the variable.

The default delimiter for the command SET is double-quote character.   Because the double-quote 
character is used as shortcut for inch unit of   measure, sometimes it is difficult to pass the data with 
inch marks in   the JOB files.

The work-around is to use the double double-quote character instead   of just one, but in this case 
already the incoming data stream needed   to be changed. You can leave the incoming data stream as-
is and change   the delimiter you want to use.
