RE: 4gl run time error "has already been defined -1351"

When 'catting' the files together make sure you use a > and not a >> You could end up catting two or more copies of your 4go's together and this would give you the same message i.e. 1351. You want to make sure that you create a new 4gi and not append to an existing version of it. This might seem a little obvious but you never know. I've accidentally done this a few times.

That will give you an understanding about which 4gos need to be catted together to create the various 4gis which get called by the Menu application. Even better, you could use the make file to create the 4gis. Alternatively, you may find that the programming database was used (syspgm.. something) to create 4gis. Check whether such a database exists (using dbaccess). If so, you will need to use the "r4gl->Program" command (I think! Its been a long time) to create your 4gis.
