Export 4D method code regardless programming language of the 4D product used

The METHOD GET CODE command has been enhanced to export the method code and get the very same result whatever the name of the commands, tables, fields, and regardless of the programming language of the 4D product used…

To do so the tokens of the code elements (4D commands, 4D constants, tables, fields, etc.) are exported with them. These tokens are unique and can be interpreted as the elements they represent by 4D even if their names have been upgraded or if they are written in another language than that of the 4D that executes it.

New optional parameter:

METHOD GET CODE ( path ; code {;option} {; *} )

As an option, you can pass the Code with tokens constant to get an exported method that any 4D product can run.

You can find examples of other possible usages in this Example Database.

For more details, please take a look at the 4D v15 R4 upgrade manual.
