Sets the default table type to either Paradox or dBASE.

Syntax

SET DBTYPE TO [PARADOX | DBASE]

PARADOX | DBASE

Sets the default table type to a Paradox (DB) or dBASE (DBF) table. The default is DBASE.

Description

SET DBTYPE sets the default type of table used by commands that open or create a table. You can override this selection by specifying a specific extension, that is, .DBF for a dBASE table or .DB for a Paradox table; or by using the TYPE option offered by many commands.

SET DBTYPE TO specified without a DBASE or PARADOX argument returns DBTYPE to its default (DBASE).
