I'm not 100% sure what you mean by 4GL, but Oracle has the OPTION of
generating 'text' out of all of it's tools. Of course, SQL is no problem.
SQL*FORMS will generate a file (at least in Unix) with an extension of
'.inp' which is pure (printable) ascii, and that can be put into a
code management system. I'm not sure about SQL*REPORTWRITER (it's
been a while) but as I recall it can generate straight ascii, which could
then be put into a CMS.

Well, as implied above we use RCS (with a front-end developed here) for
storing forms, (.inp files) and it works very well. We also developed a
tool that will take a binary file and translate it into (printable)
ascii, which can then be stored. Of course, if you do that you lose things
like diff.
Good luck!
