This function allows you to create or maintain the table of Publisher data. Publishers are retained in Table 20. The processing is similar to the importing of Table data above. For Publishers, you may also load the Supplier per Publisher, as well as the Publisher’s description.

The code that must be entered in the MLE box is:
