DBASE IS 

The DBASE IS statement identifies the database to be searched or sorted.
The statement is global to the entire program.  Once specified, it
remains in effect until another DBASE IS statement is executed.  The
database identified in this statement must be open.  If it is not, an
error occurs.

Syntax 

DBASE IS dbname$

Parameters 

dbname$          A string variable, whose value is a TurboIMAGE database
                 name.  dbname must be the variable that was passed to a
                 successful DBOPEN.

Examples 

     100    DBASE IS Db_name$

When dbname$ is a null string, the DBASE IS specification is reset to
nothing.  It is not an error to specify a null string.  An error occurs
if a string with all blanks is specified.
