DBF()*
Return current alias name
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
DBF() --> cAlias
Returns
DBF() returns the alias of the current work area as a character string.
If there is no active database file in the current work area, DBF()
returns a null string ("").
Description
DBF() is a compatibility function that replicates the DBF() function in
dBASE III PLUS. CA-Clipper implements it by invoking the ALIAS()
function without an argument.
DBF() is a compatibility function and, therefore, no longer recommended.
It is superseded entirely by the ALIAS() function.
Files Library is EXTEND.LIB, source file is SOURCE\SAMPLE\DBF.PRG
