When accessing multiple `sym files

Hello all,

I have a problem when accessing multiple sym files. Basically, I have 2 folders which have their own different sym files:

/folder1/sym

/folder2/sym

 

These 2  `sym refers to 2 set of different tables in the folders, respectively.

 

I have a process which requires to perform queries on both set of tables, but I found that there are conflicts when resolving the `sym in the tables.

 

Is there anyway to resolve this?

 

Thank you very much.

 

Best regards,

Jacky

Hi Jackyyuk

A possible reason for the problems you are getting are the names of your sym files. If instead you had something like sym1 and sym2, you would then have to re-enumerate the tables against it’s respective sym file.

Once that is done, any future updates could use the functions in the below link to enumerate to the newly named sym files.

Hope this helps!
