What are the common practices with respect to locating program and ancillary
files with Aubit4GL? Is it better that each program use a separate directory
for all related files (source, object, pcode, forms, messages), or should files
be grouped in directories by type?
With another 4GL that I use the display layout and help messages for each
screen are all defined in a single source file and a single pcode (object) run
file is created. That language uses a separate data dictionary file to
centralize table layouts, element specific display and validation
characteristics, together with help/information messages. Source and pcode
files are segregated; and within those two classes programs are further divided
by interpreter: screen, report, and batch. That obviously is not going to work
for Aubit where each screen and report can comprise multiple component files
required at run time.
