Creating a Stored Request

A request stored in a file is called a FOCEXEC. A FOCEXEC stores the request commands as straight text. No formatting or other codes, such as those created by many word processors, can be included in it. When you execute the FOCEXEC, the commands are read from the file, line by line.

You can create a FOCEXEC using the embedded text editor or any text editor that has an option to save the file as text only. The file extension for a FOCEXEC is .fex.

Note: If you are using the App Studio GUI tools to create a request, you can view and edit the underlying syntax using the Text Editor tab. For more information, see the App Studio User's Manual.
