SETTABLE
SETTABLE
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-

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.

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.
For example:
