This chapter presents the complete 4GL code for an application to maintain employee records. Although from the end user's perspective, the application is functionally simple, it incorporates a wide variety of 4GL coding techniques and features.

The 4GL code for the application contains extensive comments to explain the specific operations and statements. Where necessary, the chapter provides additional description. For more information about a 4GL statement or coding technique, see the appropriate section of this guide.

The application contains four frames that are easily constructed with ABF or Vision, and standard forms that have been edited with VIFRED.
