TEMP-TABLE-PREPARE( ) Method

Signifies that all the field and index definitions for a temp-table have been supplied.

Return Type: LOGICAL

Applies To: Temp-table Object Handle

SYNTAX
TEMP-TABLE-PREPARE( temp-table-name-exp ) 

temp-table-name-exp

A character expression that evaluates to a temp-table name to be used in subsequent query statements that refer to this temp-table.

The temp-table is in an UNPREPARED state after the first definitional method is called until this method is called. During this time, only ADD/CREATE type methods may be called.

The TEMP-TABLE-PREPARE( ) Method must be called after all fields and indexes have been created and before any non-ADD/CREATE method can be called. This method causes the pending list of field and index definitions to become part of the actual temp-table object, making it ready for use.
