Notes:
SET LAYOUT switches saving layouts on or off. When LAYOUT is set ON, R:BASE saves the layout of data displayed in the Data Browser when you exit. R:BASE saves layouts for single tables only. The next time you display the table with the Data Browser, the layout of data will be as you previously arranged it.
When LAYOUT is set off, R:BASE does not save the layout of data and ignores any saved layouts. If you want to see a table displayed in its default format without changing the saved layout for it, set LAYOUT off before displaying the table.
