Description
The REGISTER TABLE statement maps the fields in a file to columns in a virtual table. After registering the file as a table, use SQL to manipulate the contents of the file. The registered table can be referred to in database procedures. To delete a registration, use the REMOVE TABLE statement.
Notes:
• For information on registering IMA tables, see the System Administrator Guide.

• SELECT
• INSERT, UPDATE, AND DELETE (if they are from an updatable Enterprise Access product)
• DROP
• SAVE
