Log to file has been around forever.
>From release 2's ar.h:
#define AR_FILTER_ACTION_NONE 0
#define AR_FILTER_ACTION_NOTIFY 1 /* tags for types of filter actions */
#define AR_FILTER_ACTION_MESSAGE 2
#define AR_FILTER_ACTION_LOG 3
#define AR_FILTER_ACTION_FIELDS 4
#define AR_FILTER_ACTION_PROCESS 5
typedef struct {
unsigned int action;
union {
ARFilterActionNotify notify;
ARStatusStruct message;
char *logFile;
ARFieldAssignList fieldList;
char *process;
} u;
} ARFilterActionStruct;
When action == LOG, logFile is the field with data.

Matt,
Just a further clarification....AL's don't have phasing...so the `! doesn't
have any effect on them. I think the Log To File option was added in either
6.3 or 7.0...but it's been there quite a few years :)

Ok, since no one responded to my question earlier, I decided to go
investigate this myself to get the answer.
The `! at the end of a filter or AL, will make ALL actions fire in Phase 1,
even actions that would normally fire in Phase 3.
Tested with Notifications, Run Process, and Direct SQL in both ALs and
Filters
Something else I noticed in the Filter Action: Log To file Was this
introduced in 7.x, or was it earlier?
Kind of a neat feature to have.

Memory check (I think I'm over thinking this) What about Phase 3 actions in
a filter?
For some odd reason I was thinking that the `! only worked for phase 2
actions like push fields.
Yet then I started thinking that no, it worked for Run Process and
Notifications too.
Which is it?
I can't remember (and yes I'm being lazy by not looking it up in the doco).
Maybe a better question would be to have someone describe the different
phases and the different items that normally occur in them.
Also,
Rather than having just a list of questions that can be answered in a few
words or 1 sentence and the answers easily looked up and memorized.
Instead look at asking them about the projects they've worked on, how they
went, the challenges they faced and how they overcame them.
The other thing you may want to think about is a gradual increase in
difficulty of questions.
If they answer X well, then ask Y which would be a little harder, then ask Z
which would be a little harder than Y, and so on.
And if they can answer some of the more difficult questions, then asking
about T, B, and H tables may be a waste of time, as they would most likely
already know that.
HTH,
Matt P.

What is the function of DDE-Poke?
DDE-Poke is French for when you have to poke the server to get it to do what
you want.
