Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Deployment:
Managing 4GL Applications

> ## Generating a memory-mapped Library

> To generate a memory-mapped library from a standard library, enter the following command:

> Operating system | Syntax
> --- | ---
> UNIX Windows | prolib `standard-library-name` -makeshared `mapped-library-name`

> ``standard-library-name``

> Specifies the name of the standard library from which to generate the memory-mapped library. The library name must have a `.pl` extension. You can add libraries to the PROPATH environment variable by specifying the file’s absolute or relative pathname.

> Note: Save the standard library. It is the source of modification for the memory-mapped library. Each time you modify the standard library you must regenerate the memory-mapped library.

> ``mapped-library-name``

> Specifies the name of the memory-mapped library you are generating. The library name must have a `.pl` extension.

> Note: You cannot modify a memory-mapped library directly. To modify a memory-mapped library, you must modify its source standard library and regenerate the memory-mapped library.

> PROLIB generates a memory-mapped library with the standard library’s code page. All text segments in all r-code procedures retain their respective code pages.

> For information about code page compatibility, see the "Code page compatibility" section.
