Specifying a tablename for a relative file in AcuODBC

What is the correct syntax to specify a tablename for a relative file
using AcuODBC?

The tablename or file name is defined by the select statement, fd and
possibly by using a directive $XFD FILE=name. You also need to compile
with -fxa to create a data dictonary for a relative file. The AcuODBC
User's Guide chapter 6 has all of the details you'll need.

An $XFD FILE=name coupled with a new preprocessor directive in my
compilation script to change the filename in the IDENTIFICATION section
of the .xfd worked like a charm. Thanks for the help!
