-SET &ECHO = IF &FOCFEXNAME IS 'ADHOCRQ' THEN 'ALL' ELSE 'OFF';

Pretty much when you're developing fexes, you're running them live and not saved.
When you run them live, the &FOCFEXNAME will be 'ADHOCRQ' regardless of the true fexname.
So when you run live, you probably want to see the echo.
Once you save your fex, eg on your devbox before it moves over to production, you might want a way to make sure you've turned off those pesky browser-eating Echos...
I call it Kevlar... ain't bullet proof...but not too shabby.

Nice.

If you amend that to

-DEFAULT &ECHO=OFF;
-SET &ECHO = IF &FOCFEXNAME EQ 'ADHOCRQ' THEN 'ALL' ELSE &ECHO;

you get the same effect, but you'll be able to override it (say when testing a driver fex).

Nice suggestion

maybe add one single line on top

TYPE the program &FOCFEXNAME crashed, contact 999 for support !
-DEFAULT &ECHO=OFF;
-SET &ECHO = IF &FOCFEXNAME EQ 'ADHOCRQ' THEN 'ALL' ELSE &ECHO;


Even if the fex is tested very well there could be a reason that it failed.
