The CHOOSE command will work: https://www.rbase.com/support/rsyntax/rbgx5/choose.html

Specifically for a table:

CHOOSE vTableName FROM #VALUES +
 FOR SYS_Table_Name +
 FROM SYS_Tables +
 WHERE SYS_Table_Name LIKE 'NamingConventionMask%'

The data dictionary, F3, lists all the system tables and columns if you want to capture other db info.

I was wondering if there is any way to capture information about a database, such as that which is contained in the Data Dictionary or displayed by the List command, so that it can be referenced in a command file.  For example, I would like to allow the user to select a table from a subset of all the tables in the database that match a certain naming convention.

Thanks,

Jim Burroughs
