Gene, you did talk about objects, not tables and fields. They are not
treated the same way.
In this case, then Ted is right, the alias must be used.
You can use generically with something like this:
use ccli alias *mytable*
? *mytable*.clcode
Nice thing about aliases is that you can use the same alias for any table
in the case that those tables have the same fields you want to access.
