#!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Function: #!EF #!I50 #!N Specifies the name

#!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Use: #!EF #!I50 #!N Optional. If this keyword is 
not used, the number of fields is derived from other keywords 
(e.g.,  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   structure #!EF or  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   type #!EF ). #!I0 #!N 
#!N #!N #!N #!I0 #!N Notes: #!N #!I30 #!N 1. The 
values for the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   name #!EF parameter are strings separated by 
commas and without quotation marks. #!N #!I30 #!N 2. You must 
name all the fields in the data file. #!N #!I30 #!N 
3. The field names can be used later to refer to 
individual fields. For example, if you use the Import module to 
import the data all at once, you can use the Select 
module to separate out each field by name. Or you can 
specify the names of the fields you want to import as 
the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   variable #!EF parameter to the Import module. For more 
information, see  #!Limport,dxall871 h Import  #!EL  and  #!Lselect,dxall936 h Select  #!EL  in IBM Visualization Data Explorer User's 
Reference. #!N #!I30 #!N 4. If the position values are intermixed 
with the data in a file, you must specify the positions 
as a field (instead of using the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   positions #!EF keyword). 
Use the reserved word  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   locations #!EF for the field name. 
The corresponding value for the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   structure #!EF keyword should specify 
the dimensionality of the positions (e.g., "2-vector"). #!I0 #!N #!N #!N
