Our sales people demo it!! 4js is a very good compiler it catches things that 4gl does not e.g. {#### # My form ####}^L That is Control-L which 4gl will compile but 4js will not!! Also passing/returning the wrong number of parameters is a COMPILE time error NOT a run-time error. Why can 4gl do this? Because of the Control-L problem virtually NONE of our forms compile under 4js and we have >600 of them. We have >300 programs in our product. Take one out of SCCS (with forms), compile+get working under 4gl, check it back in and it gets compile under 4gl +4js, failed under 4js hence fails to be checked back in.
