n

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

This results in the following output:

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