Working with Multiple Datasets in Command Syntax
If you use command syntax to open data sources (for example, GET FILE
, GET DATA
), you need to use the DATASET NAME
command to name each dataset explicitly in
order to have more than one data source open at the same time. See the topic DATASET NAME for more information.
When working with command syntax, the active dataset name is displayed on the toolbar of the syntax window. All of the following actions can change the active dataset:
- Use the
DATASET ACTIVATE
command. See the topic DATASET ACTIVATE for more information. - Click anywhere in the Data Editor window of a dataset.
- Select a dataset name from the Active drop-down list on the toolbar in the syntax window.
