Introduction

See the chapter on tables to explore the various simple features to write contents to tables without function calls:

• Simple table access to access individual table cells
• Horizontal table access to access multiple cells in different columns in a specific row. Accessing entire rows belongs to this category, too.
• Vertical table access to access multiple cells in different rows in a specific colum. Accessing entire columns belongs to this category, too.
• Matrix table access to access multiple cells in different rows and columns as well.

The functions described next provide additional powerful ways to write data to the tables such as:

• Accessing row and column numbers if context for partial table specifications is available
• Writing data from table rows selected with an algorithmic expression
• Forget memorized table columns during program execution
