SUMMARY
=======

In FoxBASE+, the CREATE VIEW <name> FROM ENVIRONMENT ALL command creates a
view that includes the active databases, indexes, and the values specified in
SET commands.

MORE INFORMATION
================

A view file is a useful tool during debugging and testing. During the debugging
process, the current environment can be saved in a view. If the testing process
changes the environment, the application can restore the environment from the
view before continuing execution.

Specifically, CREATE VIEW <name> FROM ENVIRONMENT ALL creates a view file
that contains the following information:

- All established relations between open database files.

- All fields contained in the SET FIELDS list.

- All database, index, alternate, and format files currently open in all ten
  work areas.

- All filters in effect for open databases.

- All ON/OFF switch settings.

- The ON ESCAPE and ON KEY settings.

- The DEFAULT AND PATH SETTINGS.

- The procedure file settings.
