appendicestable of contents

I need to get a separate List of Appendices in a new page, but I get an error

Undefined control sequence

My code is

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,oneside]{report}
\usepackage[titletoc]{appendix}
\usepackage{tocloft}
\begin{document}

\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{TABLE OF CONTENTS}
\tableofcontents
\newpage

\listofappendices

\newpage

\chapter{a1}
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
\chapter{b1}
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb

\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{APPENDICES}
\begin{appendices}
\chapter{MY}
ccccccccccccccccccccccccccc
\chapter{DFG}
dddddddddddddddd
\end{appendices}

\end{document}

There is no environment appendices. There is a command appendix which introduce the appendix.

To get a list of appendix you need a new auxiliary file. In the example below the new auxiliary file gets the extension toa (t able o f a ppendix). In the next step you must declare that all entries of the appendix are written to the new file. Therefor I am using the package xpatch:

\listfiles
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,oneside]{report}
\usepackage[titletoc]{appendix}
\usepackage{tocloft}
\usepackage{xpatch}
\makeatletter
\newcommand\listofappendixname{Table of \appendixname}

\newcommand\listofappendices{%
    \if@twocolumn
      \@restonecoltrue\onecolumn
    \else
      \@restonecolfalse
    \fi
    \chapter*{\listofappendixname
        \@mkboth{%
           \MakeUppercase\listofappendixname}{\MakeUppercase\listofappendixname}}%
    \@starttoc{toa}%
    \if@restonecol\twocolumn\fi
    }
\g@addto@macro\appendix{%
  \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\appendixname}%
  \xpatchcmd{\@part}{\addcontentsline{toc}}{\addcontentsline{toa}}{}{}%
  \xpatchcmd{\@part}{\addcontentsline{toc}}{\addcontentsline{toa}}{}{}%
  \xpatchcmd{\@chapter}{\addcontentsline{toc}}{\addcontentsline{toa}}{}{}%
  \xpatchcmd{\@chapter}{\addcontentsline{toc}}{\addcontentsline{toa}}{}{}%
  \xpatchcmd{\@sect}{\addcontentsline{toc}}{\addcontentsline{toa}}{}{}%
  \xpatchcmd{\@sect}{\addcontentsline{toc}}{\addcontentsline{toa}}{}{}%
}
\makeatother
\begin{document}


\tableofcontents


\listofappendices

\newpage

\chapter{a1}
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
\chapter{b1}
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb


\appendix

\chapter{MY}
ccccccccccccccccccccccccccc
\chapter{DFG}
dddddddddddddddd

[Tex/LaTex] List of Appendices

Rooting through the cls file in the link posted above, I tried to dissect the following block, which looked rather promising:

\newcommand\listofappendices{%
    \@chapteronefalse
    \if@arabic\relax\else\renewcommand{\thepage}{\roman{page}}\fi
    \if@twocolumn
      \@restonecoltrue\onecolumn
    \else
      \@restonecolfalse
    \fi
    \chapteruaf*{\listappname
      \@mkboth{\uppercase{\listappname}}%
              {\uppercase{\listappname}}}%
    \@chapteronetrue
    %% get this in contents as a section
    \addcontentsline{toc}{section}{\listappname}
    \@starttoc{loa}%
    \if@restonecol\twocolumn\fi
    \newpage\renewcommand{\thepage}{\arabic{page}}}

Basically, I realized that this command was setting up the List of Appendices for me, all I needed was a way to automatically populate it, instead of manually adding entries to the loa file.

At the head of each Appendix:

\chapter*{This is the first appendix}
\addcontentsline{loa}{appendix}{This is the entry for the first appendix in the List of Appendices}

The \chapter* suppresses a TOC entry for the appendix, while the \addcontentsline adds the entry to the LOA file. To get the style to match, I added the following line to the end of the code block in the cls file:

\newcommand\l@appendix{\@dottedtocline{1}{1.5em}{2.3em}}

Works perfectly now, and I don't have to worry about manually creating the List of Appendices every time I build my document.

[Tex/LaTex] Creating a separate list of appendices with tocloft

This might be too late for the original poster, but here's what I came up with. Largely adapted from lockstep's answer, but matches the Appendix/Subappendix model, and follows the ToC style requested:

List of Appendices and Subappendices

\documentclass[toc=flat,numbers=noenddot]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{tocloft}

\newcommand{\listappendixname}{List of Appendices}
\newlistof{appendix}{app}{\listappendixname}
\setcounter{appdepth}{2}    
\renewcommand{\theappendix}{\Alph{appendix}}
\renewcommand{\cftappendixpresnum}{Appendix\space}
\setlength{\cftbeforeappendixskip}{\baselineskip}
\setlength{\cftappendixnumwidth}{1in}
\newlistentry[appendix]{subappendix}{app}{1}
\renewcommand{\thesubappendix}{\theappendix.\arabic{subappendix}}
\renewcommand{\cftsubappendixpresnum}{Appendix\space}
\setlength{\cftsubappendixnumwidth}{1in}
\setlength{\cftsubappendixindent}{0em}

\newcommand{\myappendix}[1]{%
  \refstepcounter{appendix}%
  \section*{\theappendix\space #1}%
  \addcontentsline{app}{appendix}{\protect\numberline{\theappendix}#1}%
  \par
}

\newcommand{\subappendix}[1]{%
  \refstepcounter{subappendix}%
  \subsection*{\thesubappendix\space #1}%
  \addcontentsline{app}{subappendix}{\protect\numberline{\thesubappendix}#1}%
}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\section{Foo} \lipsum[1]
\subsection{Bar} \lipsum[2]
\section{Additional Foo} \lipsum[3]
\subsection{Additional Bar} \lipsum[4]

\listofappendix

\myappendix{Baz} \lipsum[5]
\subappendix{Qux} \lipsum[6]
\myappendix{Additional Baz} \lipsum[7]
\subappendix{Additional Qux} \lipsum[8]
\end{document}
