HOLD files can be created by a user-coded program. This enables you to use the FOCUS Report Writer to obtain records from any FOCUS-readable data source, and write the records to another data source for use by an external program. This feature is most useful when an external program requires an internal format or arrangement of data other than those already provided with the HOLD command formats (for example, FORMAT FOCUS, LOTUS, SQL). FOCUS collects records from the report request and passes them to the user program one at a time. |
