I know you can use &LINES to get the # of lines returned from the previous HOLD, but is there a system variable that stores the name of the last HOLD file stored?

Troy,

I'm adding the code that I came up with here also.

  
APP QUERY * HOLD
-RUN

TABLE FILE FOCAPPQ
PRINT *
BY HIGHEST DATE
BY HIGHEST TIME
ON TABLE HOLD AS TESTTP
END
-RUN

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
SALES
BY COUNTRY
BY CAR
BY MODEL
ON TABLE HOLD AS CAR1
END
-RUN

DOS dir *.ftm /T /O:D > lastHold.txt

APP FI LSTHLD DISK lasthld.mas
-RUN
-WRITE LSTHLD FILENAME=LASTHLD, SUFFIX=FIX
-WRITE LSTHLD SEGMENT=ONE, SEGTYPE = S0,$
-WRITE LSTHLD FIELDNAME=DATE,USAGE=A12,ACTUAL=A12,$
-WRITE LSTHLD FIELDNAME=TIME,USAGE=A8, ACTUAL=A08,$
-WRITE LSTHLD FIELDNAME=SIZE,USAGE=A19,ACTUAL=A19,$
-WRITE LSTHLD FIELDNAME=HLDFLE,USAGE=A50,ACTUAL=A50,$
-RUN

APP FI LASTHLD DISK lasthold.txt
-RUN

TABLE FILE LASTHLD
PRINT *
COMPUTE CTR/I5 = CTR + 1;
BY HIGHEST TIME NOPRINT
WHERE DATE CONTAINS '/'
END


Basically, it is just getting the files from the agent that the report is running on and putting them in a file to be read from FOCUS.
