#PROGRAM( name, description [, target, extension ] ) [, HLP( helpid ) ]

#PROGRAM	Defines the beginning of the main program module.
name	The name of the #PROGRAM which identifies it for the Template Registry and Template Language statements. This must be a valid Clarion label.
description	A string constant describing the #PROGRAM section for the Template Registry and Application Generator.
target	A string constant that specifies the source language the Template generates. If omitted, it defaults to Clarion.
extension	A string constant that specifies the source code file extension for the target. If omitted, it defaults to .CLW.
HLP	Specifies on-line help is available.
helpid	A string constant containing the identifier to access the Help system. This may be either a Help keyword or “context string.”

The #PROGRAM statement defines the beginning of the main program module of the Template. The #PROGRAM section is terminated by the next Template Code Section (#MODULE, #PROCEDURE, #CONTROL, #CODE, #EXTENSION, or #GROUP) statement encountered, or the end of the file. Only one #PROGRAM section is allowed in a Template set.

#BUTTON, #PROMPT, and #DISPLAY statements are not valid within a #PROGRAM section. Global prompts go in the #APPLICATION section.

Example:

#PROGRAM(CLARION,'Standard Clarion Shipping Template')
