It can create something worse, because if you issue USE in area which is already used by another table (from DE), then you will close (inadvertently) this table and open another one. If you try SELECT 0 and then USE table which is already in DE, then you will get error message (file in use) unless you do USE ... AGAIN ALIAS ..
