Generated and Intermediate Files
Applications built with the Business Application Modeler generate a variety of files. Some of these files are shown in the Intermediate Files folders in the project. Generated applications include project files, generated intermediary files, resource files, and compiled binary files.
The .code file Code added to a generated 4gl file's POINT and BLOCK sections is preserved in a .code file that is used each time the application is compiled.
GSTSETUPDIR
Defines the application generator template directory. Changing this variable launches synchronization from the server and reloads the templates.
$(generate) The $(generate) command creates an intermediary XML file from the schema, Business Application diagram, and Form.
tclsh The tclsh executable generates the final file by using both a Tcl template file and the intermediary XML file crated by the $(generate) command.
$(tcl) - deprecated $(tcl) is deprecated, tclsh is used instead of $(tcl) to generate files. The $(tcl) command launches the TCL interpreter and generates the final file by using both a Tcl template file and the intermediary XML file created by the $(generate) command.
$(blockpoint) The $(blockpoint) command manages user added code by extracting or injecting code between BLOCK/POINT tags in a generated 4gl file.
