I'm a long time Focus mainframe developer. I just installed Developer Studio and wrote a procedure to create a Visual Discovery file using "on table save". Everything is working fine but I don't have a clue where Focus stored this file. Can anyone tell me?This message has been edited. Last edited by: Kerry,

It stored the file in a temp directory that was then promptly deleted at the end of the request.
Use the command APP HOLDDATA directory-name
before the table request to target one of the /ibi/apps directories for the output.
e.g. APP HOLDDATA baseapp

I need to save this file permanently. Is APP HOLDDATA will keep the data after the procedure is done?

Yes. It will save it in the directory specified.
If you have a hold file that you want to save both the master and the file, you can issue APP HOLD dirname. APP HOLDMETA only holds the master.
