The following section describes the objects generated for data tables.
The dataTable binary image file contains the run-time EGL dataTable member contents as defined by EGL. The dataTable contents are already converted to the code page of the target run-time environment. The dataTable contents are formatted to an application defined structure (possibly containing various data types) and the contents are treated as binary data. You might not be able to view the contents outside the scope of EGL and utilities.
The build descriptor option genDataTables enables the production of the table binary image files.
For message tables, the generator produces a file containing the raw message definitions. This file is processed by the preparation script file, FDAPREP, to create an iSeries native message file object (*MSGF type).
The build descriptor option genDataTables enables the production of the message file, which is the iSeries implementation of the message table. Execution of the build plan uploads the message file and invokes the preparation script to generate the message object on iSeries.
