Thanks Ginny and Waz.
&FOCFOCEXEC is the command I was looking for.
Nice Thread

Depending on how and where you are running the code you have varying values for

&FOCFEXNAME, &FOCFOCEXEC and &FOCINCLUDE

Devstudio edaserve

&FOCFEXNAME (returns focexecname.fex when open in editor, focexecname when not open)
&FOCFOCEXEC (returns _focexecname.fex when open in editor, _focexecname when not open)
&FOCINCLUDE (returns focexecname.fex when open in editor, focexecname when not open)

Devstudio projects

&FOCFEXNAME (returns ADHOCRQ when open in editor, focexecname when not open)
&FOCFOCEXEC (returns _ADHOCRQ when open in editor, _focexecname when not open)
&FOCINCLUDE (returns ADHOCRQ when open in editor, focexecname when not open)

Devstudio MRE

&FOCFEXNAME (returns ADHOCRQ when open in editor, focexecname when not open)
&FOCFOCEXEC (returns _ADHOCRQ when open in editor, _focexecname when not open)
&FOCINCLUDE (returns ADHOCRQ when open in editor, focexecname when not open)

adhoc using -INCLUDE focexecname

&FOCFEXNAME (returns focexecname)
&FOCFOCEXEC (returns _ADHOCRQ)
&FOCINCLUDE (returns focexecname)

adhoc using EX focexecname

&FOCFEXNAME (returns focexecname)
&FOCFOCEXEC (returns focexecname)
&FOCINCLUDE (returns blank)

WFServlet

&FOCFEXNAME (returns focexecname)
&FOCFOCEXEC (returns _focexecname)
&FOCINCLUDE (returns focexecname)


Nothing like consistancy.

This post is a great resource, but there's one situation missing: I have an HTML Composer page that populates a control with an external fex, so this is not INCLUDE or EX. I wonder what the values of these variables are when I open the file in the GUI...

Control populated by external procedure - in browser

I wonder if that is called by IBIF_adhocfex ?

Does that mean that when you lock down WebFOCUS by turning off IBIF_adhocfex, it breaks ?

For some reason, even though I turned off the HTML Composer Preview settings - Report and Graph Preview, my multi-select tree control retrieves all the values.

I thought I could bypass this by detecting if the external procedure that loads the tree control is running via HTML Composer - only retrieve 10 rows, but it doesn't work - all rows are returned.

-* Reduce the number of output rows for HTML Composer design mode only (doesn't work)
-IF &FOCFEXNAME NE 'ADHOCRQ' GOTO NOLIMIT;
WHERE READLIMIT EQ 10
-NOLIMIT

uh ... i don't see how that would be possible. its adhoc only if the fex is open in the editor. being a drop-down populator external fex, summoned up by the html page, wouldn't constitute the external fex being 'open in the editor'...hence named 'adhoc'.
Did i understand what you're doing right?

susannah, I was hoping I would be able to detect in the external procedure that loads a control whether or not is was called while running in the HTML Composer GUI editor or called while running normally...
