The c4gl script comes with the I4GL (c-code) compiler and generates code for the C compiler (and ESQL/C compiler). It cannot be used to generate for the I4GL-RDS (p-code) compiler; you need the fglpc command (and a development copy of I4GL-RDS) for that. If you have r4gl, though, you should have the fglpc compiler too.

fglpc file.4gl

This will generate file.4go for use with r4gl.

If you have a multi-file 4Gl app and want to link the modules together just fglpc each source file then cat the resulting object files together into a single .4go or .4gi executable and run that using fglgo.

Ok, i know about fglpc, let me explain, all our main programs are compiled as .4go and linked as .4gi.

Now i have followed instructions (very hard ones) to create a .4cf file for a web service suscribe, with this .4cf file and the w4glc tool i generate the .c and .o file for the ws client, to use this client from .4gl i see that i need to use the c4gl compiler, i did, but how can i make the web service client to our .4gi (p-code) main program then ?

Thanks

Ask half a question; get half an answer? Also known as the XY Problem (http://mywiki.wooledge.org/XyProblem).

I4GL-SOA does not support p-code at the moment, AFAICR. That is, it supports c-code services, but not p-code services. There is nothing completely impossible about supporting p-code, but the parts have not all been hooked together (and doing so is not entirely trivial).
