Syntax: How to List the Applications in APPROOT
APP LIST [HOLD]

If the HOLD option is used, the output is written to a temporary file called focappl.ftm, which can, in turn, be used in a request to drive a report or some other aspect of an application. The field layout of focappl.ftm is described by the Master File focappl.mas.



Example: Listing Applications in APPROOT

The following request lists applications that have been stored in the HOLD file focappl.ftm.

SELECT DATE,TIME,APPNAME FROM FOCAPPL

The APP LIST output is:

15/02/2000  13.36.38   baseapp
15/02/2000  13.36.38   ggdemo
