This section explains TAM files which can be used as user files dedicated to OpenTP1. The use of TAM files allows high-speed access to direct files.

Before TAM files can be used, TP1/FS/Table Access must be installed in the system and the basic OpenTP1 facility must be TP1/Server Base. The TAM file service is unavailable with TP1/LiNK.
