I would like to be able to get the path of the current APPROOT into a Dialog Manager &variable to make my focexec work in both our test and prod server environments without recoding it (we need an absolute path for some UNIX commands).

I've searched FP pretty hard, but didn't find the magic syntax, but did learn a bunch of other interesting stuff !

TIA,


Regards,
Dave

If you need to get the Physical location of APPROOT try &APPROOT.

If you need to see App folders use APP LIST.

If you need to see the Folder Contents use APP QUERY {folder}

APP LIST AND QUERY have a HOLD option, so you can TABLE file result, FOCAPPL and FOCAPPQ.

Hope This Helps
