This site was created in order to guide you step by step through the process of writing your own programs in A4gl. To run our examples please download and install the VDC Client first.
If you want to start the 4gl application and have the client operate in Listen mode then you need to set these settings manually. In order for a 4GL application to talk to the client, you need to tell Au-bit4GL where the client is that it needs to connect to, by using the Clients IP address. Setting A4GL_UI=XML makes Aubit4GL use the XML protocol required for communicating with the Client program. You therefore need to set :
$ export AFGLSERVER=ip.addr.of.client
(You may also need to set A4GLPORT – although this default to the same values within the Client and the XML UI module.)
$ export A4GL_UI=XML
Ring menu, Dialog menu, Pulldown menu.
