Table 1. Command line operands
Command line / syntax	Description
$(4dbcomp) `$(4dbcomp) sourceFile[4db]`	Builds the schema file (sch) from the database file (4db).

$(delete) `$(delete) filePath1 filePath2 ...`	Removes the given files or directories in a platform independent way. When deleting a directory, the delete is recursive; all subdirectories and files contained within the directory are deleted.
$(fglcomp) `$(fglcomp) [options] sourceFile[4gl]`	The fglcomp tool compiles BDL program sources files into a p-code version.
$(fglmkmsg) `$(fglmkmsg) [options] sourceFile[.msg] [outFile.iem]`	The fglmkmsg tool compiles message files into a binary version used by the BDL programs.
$(fglmkstr) `$(fglmkstr) [options] sourceFile[.str]`	The fglmkstr tool compiles localized string files.

$(gstdebug) `$(gstdebug)`	Calls internal Genero Studio debugger. Execution rules only.
$(gstrun) `$(gstrun)`	Calls command to run an application through Genero Studio. Execution rules only.
$(move) `$(move) sourceFilePath destinationFilePath`	Moves the given file or directory to the given destination in a platform-independent way. When moving a directory, the move command is recursive.
$(percomp) `$(percomp) [options] sourceFile[per]`	The fglform tool compiles form specification files into XML formatted files used by the programs.
