Qualify imports

The qualify imports tool can be used to reformat .4gl source modules to automatically add module prefixes to all imported symbols that are not yet qualified.

The qualify imports tool is provided as part of the fglcomp compilation tool. Genero Studio provides an interface to the compilation tool through the use of menu options and preference settings. In order to gain a thorough understanding of the qualify imports tool, it is recommended that you review the IMPORT FGL module topic in the Genero Business Development Language User Guide.
