Is there a way I can tell WF to print all of the fields in the table except field X ? Thanks!

It would be nice to be able to do that, but unfortunately no.

Mark,
You could try this:
  
-* File Mark1.fex
CHECK FILE CAR HOLD
-RUN
FILEDEF ALLFIELDS DISK ALLFIELDS.FEX
TABLE FILE HOLD
PRINT FIELDNAME
IF FIELDNAME NE WARRANTY OR STANDARD
ON TABLE SAVE AS ALLFIELDS
END
-RUN
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
-INCLUDE ALLFIELDS
END

Mark, you could also try...

TABLE FILE SYSCOLUM
PRINT NAME
WHERE TBNAME EQ 'CAR'
WHERE NAME NE 'COUNTRY'
ON TABLE SAVE AS ALLFIELDS
END
-RUN
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
-INCLUDE ALLFIELDS
END

Daniel, works without the filedef for 7.1.6 and 7.6.6 on Unix, and 7.6.8 on Windows.

If there are concerns , then change to HOLD FORMAT ALPHA

quote:
Don't forget to FILEDEF the ALLFIELDS file
It used to be (if memory serves) that the default extension of an include file was .fex and the help references do infer that only focexecs can be included.

However, help files for 7.1.3 (the DS of choice Wink) gives -

quote:
-INCLUDE drive:\path\filename.ext where:

drive
Is the drive that contains the path to the FOCEXEC.

path
Is the fully qualified path to the file that contains the FOCEXEC.

filename
Is the name of the file that contains the FOCEXEC.

ext
Is the extension of the file that contains the FOCEXEC.
Then again, it also states-
quote:
Relative paths are not supported in the -INCLUDE command
For safety I always code the extension and never leave it to WF to determine what it thinks it should use - it's like asking a child to fetch the ASP book from the shelf in the study - which ASP book?

In the above examples given by Waz and Danny, I would suggest that the -INCLUDE code was coded as -INCLUDE ALLFIELDS.FTM, or as Danny suggests, FILEDEF the file with extension that you want and then include that - specifying the extension. Code safe and make it future proof - who knows what subsequent releases will bring Wink

Wow, Thanks for the Brain Dump. Eeker

I do agree with the Future Proofing, all it needs is a little code tightening and bang, the code fails.

Found there's also another way to EXCLUDE fields
 TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT  *
ON TABLE HOLD AS PT
ON TABLE SET EXTRACT *
EXCLUDE=(MODEL CAR),$
ENDEXTRACT
END
?FF PT
