The %AfterGeneratedApplication is not a template symbol but an embed and the only way to get to know the embeds is to check the templates, that is something that a template writer should do anyways. The #ATEND is documented because it is part of the template language but maybe some documentation can be added about the embeds symbols. Hi,

What I mean is you can search the Clarion Help and the \Docs folder and find information on the built in template symbols, but you won't find %AfterGeneratedApplication because that's a symbol in one of the shipping template set and none of them (unless I'm missing something) are documented. It would surely help users creating their own templates if these shipping template symbols and embed points were documented together with how to 'properly' use them. Their mis-use seems to have been the cause of some of the C6 to C7 conversion issues. Graham One thing that struck me reading the blog was that there is no documentation
