ALL option is typically '$*' or just '$' if the field you're filtering is just A1.
so
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM SALES BY CAR
IF CAR IS '$*'
END
gives you all the cars

In Newer Version of WebFOCUS The value of an all option is FOC_NONE. When ever a variable is SET to FOC_NONE the entire statement that the variable is part of is thrown out and not used. example: 
&COUNTRY = ENGLAND
&CAR = FOC_NONE

This entire where is thrown out
WHERE COUNTRY EQ &COUNTRY AND CAR EQ &CAR;

In this example only CAR is thown out
WHERE COUNTRY EQ &COUNTRY 
WHERE CAR EQ &CAR;

They are also thrown out in headings and maybe other places.
Entire ROW
HEADING
"Country &COUNTRY Car &CAR"

Only Car Row
HEADING
"Country &COUNTRY"
"Car &CAR "


This is very good and useful if you have a structured ad-hoc and put the & variables in HEADINGS, FOOTINGS, SUBFOOTS.

If anyone finds other places please add to this post for future info.

Hope this helps




Scott
