An array property of a VIEW. Each array element returns a reference to the numbered file in the VIEW. This reference can be used as the source side of a reference assignment statement. The files are numbered within the VIEW starting with 1 (the primary file in the VIEW) and continuing for each JOIN, as they appear within the VIEW structure. (READ ONLY)

PROP:File can now also be used to return the key's file name from a KEY.

Example:

**GetFileInfoFromKey PROCEDURE(*KEY key)**

**KFile &FILE**

**Record &GROUP**

**CODE**

**KFile &= ****key{PROP:File}**

**MESSAGE(KFile{PROP:Label, key{PROP:Field, 1}}) !Returns label of first key component**
