The Table_OpenAsTemp() function creates a “clone” of the table specified. The clone will be a temporary table with exactly the same structure as the table supplied. The clone table will contain no data.
Table_OpenAsTemp(table table_name)
• table table_name – The technical name of the table whose table structure will be copied and used for the new clone table.
This function can be used when data in a table must processed, but you don’t want the original data affected.
