n

The starting table number in the range of tables for which you want to track access statistics.

Use Base Table (-basetable) with Table Range Size (-tablerangesize) to specify the range of tables for which you want to collect statistics. Access to the statistics is handled through the Virtual System Tables (VSTs). Table statistics are stored in the _TableStat VST. To obtain table numbers, use the following 4GL code:

FOR EACH _file:      DISPLAY _file-num _file. END.

This results in the following output:

_File-Number File-Name      n1 table name1      n2 table name2      n3 table name3
