Re: 4gl Program limitations

There are no limitations in the number of lines, number of functions, or the total size of the module. I do have a suggestion though (if I may). Break up your source code modules into logical peices; database access, screen handler, report driver, and main. This would limit the amount of code that needs to be compiled when you maks a change to the program. Be careful though, you can go to the other extreme and end up with a couple hundred files easily.
