You change an existing page in your Web target to 4GL mode by opening the page in the HTML editor and selecting a check box in the Page Properties dialog box. Some of the pages of the Page Properties dialog box are available only to Web pages for which you select the 4GL mode. After you select the 4GL mode check box, you can add other 4GL properties to the page and access the server-side event model in the integrated Script editor.

Post-conversion manipulation
If you change an existing page to 4GL mode, you must manually
remove any existing FORM tags and you must make sure that each control
on the page has a unique name. If you want to take advantage of
4GL functionality with a control you added before changing the page
to 4GL mode, you must select the Server Side Scriptable check box
on the control property sheet (or add the PSSERVERSCRIPTABLE attribute
for the corresponding INPUT or OBJECT tag in Source view).
To enable 4GL mode in an existing page:
Open the page in the HTML editor.
Right-click in the page, then select Page Properties from the pop-up menu.
On the Page tab of the Page Properties dialog box, select the Enable 4GL Web Server Side Event Model check box.
When you select the check box, the 4GL property pages of the Page Properties dialog box are enabled.
(Optional) Specify properties for the 4GL page on the newly enabled pages of the Page Properties dialog box.
