Establishing a Directory for Source Code
The Source Directory field on the Create an Application frame (described in
How to Create the Application) contains the full directory path name for the directory where the source code files for the application resides. This includes the 4GL code for user-specified frames, source code for procedures, and the report specification files.
The initial value in this field is the name of the directory from which you started ABF. You can change this to any directory for a given application.
After you create an application component, avoid changing the directory specification. If you decide to change the directory name:
• Make sure the new directory actually exists.
• Create the directory at the operating system level, if necessary, before running ABF.
• Move any source code files created in the original directory to the new source code directory.
To modify directory specifications, use the Application Defaults frame, described in
Building Applications.
