What dictates whether the value in &FOCFEXNAME contains the full directory path or just the data flow? I have 2 different data flows putting &FOCFEXNAME into a column. The first results in appdir/flowname. The second results in flowname. Thanks!This message has been edited. Last edited by: Tamra,

HI Deejay,
Welcome to Focal point!
While we wait for others to reply to this topic, what version of Data Migrator are you using.
In WebFOCUS using &FOCFEXNAME may depend on whether you are running a focexec in the App Folder or within MRE.
WebFOCUS Explanation: Manages reporting operations involving many similarly named requests that are executed using the EX command. &FOCFOCEXEC enables you to easily determine which procedure is running by returning the fully qualified path for the procedure. &FOCFOCEXEC can be specified within a request or a Dialogue Manager command to display the name of the current procedure.
What is it that you are trying to do with the &FOCFEXNAME?

Hi DeeJay,
The following is a reply received back from a colleague in the Data Migrator group.
Here is what I noticed:
- If the procedure part of the process flow (IOWs, it is an icon), then the full path is displayed. - If the procedure is called from a stored proc, then only the name is displayed unless it is called using the application name o Example EX SHOWVARS will be “showvars” EX baseapp/SHOWVARS will be “baseapp/showvars”
There is an option in the DMConsole that says “Use application directory name with flow components” in “Options/Process Flow Designer”. That should be checked on to ensure the app name is always included in the “EX “ statements.
Hope that helps,
Thank you for participating in the Focal Point Forum.
