Data Tables in CAS | CAS

Added: 01/13/2015; Last Modified: 01/13/2015; Visits:3,003

CAS can store static table data in Data Tables.  These can be used as lookup tables against keys in the current CAS file.   There are no rows and column size restrictions but it's a good idea to avoid large datasets.  Large data tables significantly increase file size and time it takes to save the file.  In situations where large lookup tables are necessary another CAS file can be used instead.
