Genero programs

Genero Business Development Language (BDL) is a programming language based on simple and readable syntax.

The program logic is written in text files with the .4gl file extension, called program source modules. Module sources are compiled (fglcomp) into p-code modules with the .42m file extension, that can be executed by the runtime system (fglrun). Application programs are build with a group of .42m modules.

While Genero BDL supports legacy linking to create .42r program files, it is highly recommended to use the IMPORT FGL solution. This approach leverages the full capabilities of the fglcomp compiler and runtime system. You may also want to use PACKAGE structures to streamline module organization and deployment.
