Organizing projects

Considerations when organizing your project, its nodes, and its files.

Application and library nodes

Whether you have a single application node or multiple application nodes will depend on what you set for the Language property.

If the Language property is set to Genero:
With the language Genero, where should you store your module source? If you plan to reuse a module, place it in a library; otherwise, keep the module in the application node.
If the Language property is set to Genero (no link):
When using the Genero (no link) language, only p-code modules are created; there are no program files (.42r) or p-code libraries (.42x) created. As such, multiple application and/or library nodes are not required. You can put all source modules (.4gl) under a single application (or library) node. If you need to further organize the files, consider using virtual folders.
Note:
It is recommended to simply the structure as much as possible!
