Label Join {Scanned}

[Siki Zoltan]

Hi,

You can join a dbf file to shape (which has a dbf too).
But I've used it in queries.
You must define a JOIN block in the layer definition.

LAYER
        NAME base
        DATA ...        # use your data instead of ...
        TYPE ...
        CLASS
                TEMPLATE ...
        END
        HEADER ...
        FOOTER ...

        JOIN    # one-to-one join
                NAME joined
                TABLE the_name_of_dbf
                FROM  join_column_in_base
                TO    join_column_in_joined
        END
END

After it you can refer to the joined columns joined_columnName.
It works me in the query template.

Bye
Zoltan
