TableTalk

Table, field, work-area, order, cursor, and browser inspection workflows.

Overview

TableTalk is the site label for table-facing inspection workflows. In the local source, those workflows are exposed through DotTalk++ commands and browser surfaces rather than a separate polished TableTalk executable.

Its subject is visible table/work-area state: what is open, where the cursor is, what fields exist, what order is attached, and how rows are listed or browsed.

Relevant runtime areas include:

  • USE, SELECT, AREA, DBAREA, and DBAREAS.
  • STRUCT, FIELDS, and field/record inspection.
  • SMARTLIST, SL, LIST, and order-aware listing work.
  • SMARTBROWSE / SM / SMART record browsing.
  • SIMPLEBROWSE / SB simple browsing.
  • BROWSE, BROWSER, and BROWSETUI table browser surfaces.
  • schema, DDL, data dictionary, and metadata catalog work.
