Description

The SET VIEW TO <.vue filename> command establishes a logical view of a group of tables, which can then be viewed as one if they are related together. The filename can be substituted with a <expC>, enclosed in round brackets, which returns a valid filename. If no file extension is specified, ’.vue’ is used. Once a view has been established, the workarea that was current when the view was created is selected.

Example

use patrons index events, dates, names
// View patrons.vue defines the above command
set view to patrons
