The different types of table are described in the Tables overview and are created using Tables setup.

A syntax table does not produce a table. It is used to add some Command Language (CL) script at the appropriate point when the tables are run.

The CL (command language) syntax manual can be found at https://netmr.scot/manuals/companion/Manual.htm.

The syntax can be included in the tables stage or in the manip stage.

Typical uses in the tables stage will be to set texts that cannot be altered through the menus.

Typical uses in the manip stage will be to do table arithmetic not available through the menus.

If a large amount of CL script is needed a preprocessor *INSERT command can be used to insert a separate text file with the additional CL script.  For example the syntax could be:

[*insert myextra.txt]
