ASSIGN Statement option
Use this option to generate an ASSIGN statement to copy a table. The Data Dictionary alphabetically lists all the tables defined for your database. When you choose a table, the Data Dictionary prompts you for the filename of the output file. The default filename is table-name.i. The Data Dictionary creates an output file that contains an ASSIGN statement to copy each field of the table from one buffer record to another and prompts you to continue.
The following figure shows an example of the ASSIGN statement generated for the Customer table in the Sports database.
