Exporting 4gl programs and libraries

 

LyciaStudio allows exporting programs and libraries so that you can store in your file system or send them to your customers.

 

Once properly exported, these programs and libraries can be imported to your workspace by means of the Import wizard.

 

To export a 4gl program, please follow these steps.

 

Step 1

Start the Export wizard in one of the ways described here.

 

Step 2

In the opened window, select 4GL 4GL Programs and Libraries and press Next:

 

 

Step 3

Select the project that contains the programs and/or libraries you want to export:

 

 

The project is selected from the list of projects existing in your workspace, with the active project suggested as the default one:

 

 

Step 4

Select the program you want to export among all the programs of the necessary project:

 

 

You can select more than one program (Select All and Deselect All buttons are available as well).

 

The Finish button will be disabled unless you select at least program.

 

Step 5

Specify the export destination - the archive file to which the 4gl program or library will be exported - by direct typing or browsing:

 

 

Step 6

After you press Finish, all the program files will be copied and saved to the specified archive file so that you can move them to the new location.

The original program (and its files) is not removed from your workspace and is ready for use.

 

This method is used only for exporting programs and libraries but not whole projects.

Whole projects can be exported to your file system or shared by means of a version control system like GIT or CVS.
