This chapter describes the built-in 4GL functions that can be used to run applications:

exec_local() runs a local application on Windows
exec_program() runs a 4GL program on a specified GUI server instance
winexec() requests the GUI client to execute a command on the operating system the parent application is being run on
winexecwait() request the GUI client to execute a command on the operating system the parent application is being run on without waiting
winshellexec() opens a document on the client PC in a system shell
winshellexecwait() opens a document on the client PC in a system shell without waiting

The main way to run an application is the RUN statement.
