Chapter 1 Overview Introduction HP ALLBASE/4GL is an advanced fourth-generation language. It enables you to design and implement application software by defining the required results, rather than the procedures necessary to achieve those results. HP ALLBASE/4GL provides facilities for: * Developing new applications. * Modifying existing applications. * Producing multiple versions of applications for different users. * Producing developer documentation. This manual is a reference manual for developers who are familiar with the basic terminology and concepts of HP ALLBASE/4GL. If you haven't already done so, we suggest that you work through the HP ALLBASE/4GL Developer Self-Paced Training Guide before you use HP ALLBASE/4GL (and this manual) to develop your own applications. This chapter of the HP ALLBASE/4GL Developer Reference Manual provides an overview of the structure of HP ALLBASE/4GL and the procedures for developing applications.
