ALIAS()


Syntax:     ALIAS([<expN>])

Purpose:    To obtain the alias name of the specified work area.

Argument:   <expN> is the number of specified work area.

Returns:    A character string.

            If no argument is specified, the alias of the current work
            area is returned.  If a numeric argument is specified, the
            alias of that area is returned.  If there is no database
            file in USE, ALIAS() returns a null string ("").
