WHAT DOES *TABLE NAME SPECIFIES?

Hi!

You can access this way a second header line of the table (it works like a work area, and it has the same sructure as the table).

It is a way obsolete.

Hi,

This is used along with TABLES statement.

So if you want to create two strcutres of the same table using TABLES statement then use as follows.

TABLES: scarr, *scarr.

The avantage is

SELECT SINGLE *

FROM scarr

WHERE carrid = 'LH'.

SELECT SINGLE *

FROM *scarr

WHERE carrid = 'UA'.

*scarr behaves in a same way as scarr and even it works in SELECT statement and *scarr will be treated as scarr and data will be read from scarr. This usage is obsolete.
