Creating Tables

Tables can be created in any of the following ways:

• By specifying the new table name in the entry panel and pressing Enter.
• By using the SELECT command (described later) to specify the new table name in the Table List screen and pressing Enter.

As a result of using either of the above methods, a skeletal pool definition (meaning, one with most fields left blank) is displayed in the pool definition screen.

Fill in the blanks and save the screen entries. The table is created and the pool definition is the first and only definition in the Pool list of the table. As additional pool definitions are created in the table (described below), they are added to the list.

Note: Upon exiting the Pool List screen, if changes were made in at least one pool definition, an Exit Option window is displayed. One field of the window displays the table name. This value can be changed to a new table name that creates a new table in which the pool definitions are saved.
