Hi,
To explain in detail , alias you can use to rename a field in whole script. Where 'as' can use for each field.
From the following example
1. From test table CountryID will be shown as CountryName after reload.
2. In resident load you can not use CountryID as it already renamed to CountryCode.
3. You can again rename CountryCode to another name using 'as' like Country# I used.
Hope it answers your question.
