Hi,

I have a couple of variables to be read from SAVE files. I want to reuse the variables instead of running the 7-8 SAVE files everytime that i have in a fex .

for example , 

  

Table file A 
print 
lst_5_weeks
on table save as sav_week
end

-READ sav_week &WK1.A10. &WK2.A10. &WK3.A10. &WK4.A10. &WK5.A10.


i have several files like this .

When we use hold files , i can use APP HOLD hold dir and i can reuse those FOCUS files .

How can we achieve the same way using SAVE ?
i want the Save files to be saved in the application directory , and the i can read it everytime from the fex ..

Thanks!

You could either:

FILEDEF MYFILE DISK /mypath/myfile.ftm
-RUN
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT COUNTRY AND CAR
ON TABLE SAVE AS MYFILE
END


or

APP HOLDDATA mypath
-RUN
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT COUNTRY AND CAR
ON TABLE HOLD AS MYFILE FORMAT ALPHA
END

APP HOLDDATA test
-RUN
TABLE FILE test1
PRINT week_Dt
ON TABLE HOLD AS MYFILE FORMAT ALPHA
END


from another fex ,

APP PATH determines where to find procedures (.fex) and synonyms (.mas/.acx).

For data files you still need to let FOCUS know where to find them.

FILEDEF MYFILE DISK test/myfile.ftm
-RUN
-READ MYFILE &week_Dt.A10.

Why is this not as simple as writing the code once, saving it in the Applications folder, and -MRNOEDIT -INCLUDE ing it? Sorry, am I over simplifying it?
