Organizing projects

With the language Genero, where should you store your module source? If you plan to reuse a module, place it in a library; otherwise, keep the module in the application node.

When using the Genero (no link) language, you create only p-code modules; you do not create program files (.42r) or p-code libraries (.42x). This is because modules use IMPORT FGL to reference (and import) variables and functions that reside in those modules, which would otherwise reside in libraries.

Since program files (.42r) or p-code libraries (.42x) are not created, the Genero Studio project does not require multiple application or library nodes. You can put all source modules (.4gl) under a single application or library node. To further organize the files within the node, consider using virtual folders.

Using Genero (no link) requires a full understanding of the IMPORT FGL statement, its options, and how it allows you to build a Genero application without linking. To gain a full understanding of IMPORT FGL and how to use it in your Genero application, go to the IMPORT FGL topics in the Genero Business Development Language User Guide.
