The same place I go whenever I need to get the "real" or hard to find doc: FOCUS for Mainframe Developing Applications Version 7.6 (DN1001057.0310)

I believe SET MASTER has been around quite a long time, at least back to V4.21.

But not documented in the WebFOCUS manuals, only in the Mainframe one.

According to Tech Support:
"The SET MASTER=OLD setting was originally intended to allow customers time to convert their MFDs when the newer MFD parser was introduced. It was never intended as a permanent setting, and with the introduction of XFOCUS to replace FUSION, support for SET MASTER is not being continued."

I think its fantastic that there is a bundle of knowledge out there just waiting to be released into the WebFOCUS wilds.
