EGL Reference Guide for iSeries

Opening a part

You can use the Open Part dialog to quickly open the source file that contains an EGL part. To locate a part using the Open Part dialog, do as follows:

  1. In the workbench, click the Open Part button on the toolbar or select Open Part from the Navigation menu. The Open Part dialog is displayed.
  2. Type the name of the part you want to locate; or to display a list of parts with names that match a specific pattern of characters, embed wildcard symbols within the name. A question mark (?) acts as a substitute for any one character and an asterisks (*) fills in for a string of characters. For example, typing myForm?Group will locate parts named myForm1Group and myForm2Group, but not myForm10Group. Typing myForm*Group will locate parts named myForm1Group, myForm2Group, and myForm10Group. As you type the name, qualifying parts display in the Matching parts section of the Open Part dialog.
  3. From the list of parts, select the part you want to open. The Qualifier section of the Open Part dialog displays the path containing the folder, project, package, and source file that hold the selected part. In the event that multiple parts have the same name, you can select a specific part by clicking on the path of the file you want to open.
  4. Click OK. The source file containing the part you selected opens in the EGL editor and the part name is highlighted.
