Naming Conventions

The AppBuilder creates structured procedure files, called window files, that are identified by a .w extension. For example, the source filename of the SmartDataBrowser referred to as bcust has a .w extension (bcust.w). It has a .r extension in its compiled form (bcust.r) and a prefix of h_ (for handle) when referred to as an instance in memory (h_bcust).

Other files commonly used with the AppBuilder are: include files (with a .i extension), procedure files (with a .p extension), and client proxy files (with a suffix of _cl added to the filename).

Table 4–1 lists the AppBuilder filename conventions.
