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

Use Base Table (-basetable) with Table Range Size (-tablerangesize) to specify the range of tables for which you want to collect statistics. Access to the statistics is handled through the Virtual System Tables (VSTs). Table statistics are stored in the _TableStat VST. See the Progress Database Administration Guide and Reference for more information on virtual system tables. 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
