Hi all,

sorry if this has been asked before, my searches only returned a post about using the MRE and listing reports in a dashboard...

what i'd like to do is find a way of listing the contents of a directory, so i can reference the names of the .mas files, and then use those values...

i can point to the path but i need to return its contents- anyone know how to do this using CMD in WebFOCUS?

Thanks Tom, should have remembered about SYSFILES (used that before), but APP QUERY is new to me so thanks for that!

map a drive to the server
go to start/run/cmd
navigate to the drive and directory you want
DIR *.MAS >DELETEME.TXT
and now you'll ahve a file called deleteme.txt
that you can open in notepad, whatever.
