After you generate an application, a number of objects must be transferred to the iSeries host system as members in various iSeries physical files. On the iSeries host system, these members must be prepared before the application can be run.
Table 4 provides information about the types of files produced by generation, including the following:
Refer to the EGL Reference Guide for more information on
controlling and modifying generation and preparation of iSeries
objects.
