Work Tables
This section explains how to use work tables to do the following:
- Produce categorized reports when you do not know the value of each possible category until you have made a pass through the table.
- Collect information from a number of records and then do calculations on that information.
- Do complex sorting on summarized information.
- Produce cross-tab reports.
- Simplify array manipulation, coding, and the use of dynamic variables.
NOTE: You cannot access work tables using SQL statements.
