How to build applications from command line 
This is the list of command line arguments. For compiling or building applications, see -b and -m switch
| -b, -B | Compile and save the application as an executable file.
Example: -b myapp.app myapp.exe The second name is optional; if omitted, the output file has the root name of the input file with an *.EXE extension. If you do not specify a complete path, SQLWindows puts the output file in the current working directory. |
| -m, -M | Generate a dynalib (.APD) and exit.
Example: -m myapp.apt myapp.apd The second name is optional. The name of the input file with an optional path. If you do not specify a complete path, SQLWindows puts the output file in the current working directory. |
| -c, -C | Save an *.APT application as a normal (binary) file and exit.
This switch takes only one argument: the name of the input file with an optional path. SQLWindows ignores any other arguments. If you do not specify a complete path, SQLWindows puts the output file in the current working directory. |
| -e -E | Start SQLWindows in debug mode.
When you exit the application, SQLWindows exits (contrast this behavior with the -r switch). This switch takes as arguments the name of the application followed by any optional parameters you want to pass to the application. |
| -i, -I | Edit an include library.
Example: -I mylib.apl |
| -r, -R | Start SQLWindows in debug mode.
When you exit the application, SQLWindows continues to run (contrast this behavior with the -e switch). This switch takes as arguments the name of the application followed by any optional parameters you want to pass to the application. |
| -x, -X | Exit Windows when done.
Example: -bx myapp.apt<b> |
