Questions tagged [4gl]

A programming language with a specific domain intended, such as business or science, in which the basic units are of a higher abstraction or power.

Following on the heels of 3GL languages such as C, COBOL and Pascal, the promise of the 4GL was to solve the problem at a higher level of abstraction. A 4GL would be designed with a specific problem domain in mind, such as commerce.

Many 4GLs did not go on to fulfill their initial promise, as 3GLs continued to expand in power and scope, and standardized libraries became more pervasive. The line today between a 3GL and a 4GL is blurry; most modern languages could be considered 4GLs.

Simply tagging your post should be avoided. It's better to tag your post with a tag of your specific 4GL-language. Or at least add the language tag to the 4GL-tag.

Examples:

Informix 4gl can be tagged .

Progress 4GL/ABL -->

Ingres -->

etc.

Is there a way of using the "Segoe MDL2 Assets" Icons as Image-sources in Genero 2.5?

As far as I know, you can use only actual images/URLs to images as sources for the image-attribute. Is there a way to circumvent this restriction and use the icons of a font like the one stated above? Currently using Genero 2.5.

Is there a way to set the input option "wrap" as the default behavior for an entier project?

When tabbing through an input the default behavior is to exit the input after the last field, instead of going back to the first field. By using OPTIONS INPUT WRAP in the before input block, this can be avoided. However, this has to be done for each…
