Compile (build) a DataFlex program with the console compiler (DfCompConsole.exe). Use when the user wants to compile/build a DataFlex .src program, check that DataFlex code compiles, or rebuild an executable. Works for any DataFlex workspace.

DataFlex compiles a `.src` program against a workspace (`.sws`) using the console
DataFlex compiles a .src program against a workspace (.sws) using the console
compiler. Compiling a .src transitively compiles every package (.pkg) it uses,
so there is no separate build step.
C:\Program Files\DataFlex <ver>\Bin64\DfCompConsole.exe
Pick the version that matches the target workspace's Version= (see its .sws /
Config.ws). Installed here: 20.1, 23.0, 24.0, 25.0, 26.0. When unsure, use the
newest version that matches the workspace.
Run from the repo / workspace root. -x = workspace (.sws), -c = source to
compile (path relative to the workspace's AppSrc).
$compiler = "C:\Program Files\DataFlex 25.0\Bin64\DfCompConsole.exe"
& $compiler -x"<workspace>.sws" -c "AppSrc\<program>.src" 2>&1 | Select-String -Pattern "ERROR:|Total Errors|Total Warnings"
Write-Output "EXIT=$LASTEXITCODE"
The compiler log is verbose; filtering on ERROR:|Total Errors|Total Warnings
keeps it readable. Drop the filter to see the full include trace when diagnosing a
missing-package or ordering problem.
EXIT=0 and Total Errors : 0.ERROR: <num> ... ON LINE: <n> ... OF FILE: <path>.Total Warnings : <n>; pre-existing ones unrelated to
your change can be ignored.The executable lands in the workspace's ProgramPath (commonly ...\Programs\<name>.exe).
The 64BitSuffix setting in the program's .cfg controls whether the name gets a
64 suffix.
Searches MemPalace before answering questions about past work, people, projects, or prior decisions. Returns verbatim stored content instead of guessing from model memory.
Guides Payload CMS config (payload.config.ts), collections, fields, hooks, access control, APIs. Debugs validation errors, security, relationships, queries, transactions, hook behavior.
Implements vector databases with Pinecone, Weaviate, Qdrant, Milvus, pgvector for semantic search, RAG, recommendations, and similarity systems. Optimizes embeddings, indexing, and hybrid search.
