EGL Reference Guide for iSeries
The output generated for a dataTable part varies by the output
language:
- If you are generating output in Java, each data table is generated as a
pair of files, each named for the data table. One file has the
extension .java, the other has the extension .tab. The
.tab file is not processed by the Java compiler, but is included in the
root of the directory structure that contains the package. If the
package is my.product.package, for example, the
directory structure is my/product/package, and the .tab file
is in the directory that contains the subdirectory my.
- If you are generating output for COBOL, a data table is generated as a
separate program, with the file extension .cbl. EGL also
produces a binary file that has the file extension .tab. You do
not compile that file; it is read as is at runtime.
You do not need to generate the data tables if you are generating into a
directory or Java package to which you had previously generated the same data
tables.
To save generation time when you do not need to generate data tables,
assign NO to the build descriptor option genTables.
