Each Project Manager node has a defined set of variables containing values determined at runtime.
These variables can be used in Build rules or Environment variables. The variables available on a node are the concatenation of the variables defined for this node plus the ones defined for its ancestors.

| $(ProjectDir) | The directory where the 4pw file is located or the operating system temporary directory if the project has never been saved | X | X | X | X |
| $(CompilerOptions) | Compilation flags defined in the user interface | X | X | X | X |
| $(TargetDir) | Target directory of the compiled files | X | X | X | X |
| $(InputPath) | Absolute path of the input file | X | |||
| $(InputName) | File name with extension | X | |||
| $(InputBaseName) | File name without extension | X | |||
| $(InputExtension) | File extension | X | |||
| $(InputDir) | File directory | X | |||
| $(InputMimeType) | MIME type of the file | X | |||
| $(BAFilePath) | Absolute path of the 4ba file | X | X | X | X |
| $(TemplateDir) | Application Generator template directory path | X | X | X | X |
| $(InstallDir) | Genero Studio installation directory path | X | X | X | X |
| $(BinaryName) | Name of the binary node | X | X | X | |
| $(LinkerOptions) | Value of the node property LinkerOptions | X | X | X | |
| $(Dependencies) | Full path to dependent libraries output. | X | X | ||
| $(External Dependencies) | Value of the node property External
dependencies. Note: For Java™,
C, and other languages, this property will contain the full path for
external dependencies as FGLLDPATH is not used.

| $(BuildInputFilePaths) | Absolute file paths | X | X | ||
| $(BuildInputFileNames) | File names | X | X | ||
| $(BuildInputFileDirs) | File directories. List of all files which are input files for a build rule. For example, main.4gl form.4fd test.per toto.4gl | X | X | ||

| $(BuildOutputFileNames) | File names | X | X | ||

For all variables that contain a list of files, for example $(BuildInputFiles), special syntax is used to expand the list.
$(variableName:.extension)
$(variableName|separator)
For example, $(BuildInputFiles|#) returns all the files in the $(BuildInputFiles) list separated by a #.
