Create New Synonym from the associated app folder which has access to the view or SQL based table and go from there.

I've never seen it accessed it that way.. I've usually made the synonym connect directly to the table or stored proc and use webfocus to do the query or execution with parameters into the proc.

Gavin,
Usually we create Master File for external data set like TEXT, COMT, FIX files. Similarly there is option to create Master File for SQL query. I know to create MasterFile for RDBMS sql file but I'm not sure how to create Synonym for a FOCUS SQL file.

My example on top will work for RDBMS SQL.

I think you mean something like this? (this example uses Oracle):
-* Prepare the SQL statement
SQL SQLORA PREPARE MYSTATEMENT FOR
-INCLUDE CAR1.SQL
;
END

-* Execute the prepared SQL statement
TABLE FILE MYSTATEMENT
PRINT *
END
-RUN

-* To see where the master file(s) were generated:
WHENCE MYSTATEMENT MASTER
WHENCE MYSTATEMENT ACCESS


The master gets generated automatically.
