            4D’s component architecture does not allow variables to be shared between components. That is a good
            thing, but it requires us to find another way to share information between components. In Foundation,
            we do this with the Fnd_Gen_SetDatabaseInfo and Fnd_Gen_GetDatabaseInfo methods.
            Foundation maintains a set of text arrays to store general information about the shell. Information
            is added to these arrays using the Fnd_Gen_SetDatabaseInfo method, and you can get at this
            information using the Fnd_Gen_GetDatabaseInfo method.
            By default, Foundation’s General component stores just one bit of information: the version number of the
            Fnd_Gen component.
            In the Foundation Shell, the Fnd_Hook_Shell_Setup hook uses the Fnd_Gen_SetDatabaseInfo
            method to set up four other pieces of information:

              Label                      Data
              DatabaseName               The name of the database
              DatabaseVersion            The version number of the database
              DatabaseCopyright          The database’s copyright information
              DatabaseURL                The URL for the About dialog
            You can store any text information in these variables that you need to share between components. These
            routines are designed for storing hard-coded text strings for communication between components. To
            store user preference related text strings, use Foundation’s Preferences component.
