Table lookup refers to the scenario where the user enters a value in one column and the program looks up and automatically fills in a corresponding value in another column, such as a G/L account number and description or a State abbreviation and name. Although you can implement this using normal cell editing techniques, if the set of possible values is reasonable in size (hundreds rather than thousands or tens of thousands), and relatively static, it makes sense to pass the table to XTREE in advance and let it do the lookups internally on the client side rather than having to go back to the application for each lookup. This is especially true in the ATE environment, where the overhead of exiting back to the application on the server for the lookup operation is much greater.
See LookupX and FileListX for details.
