The build descriptor option oneFormItemCopybook indicates how EGL-generated COBOL code accesses the values of form-item properties. Values are as follows:
If possible, accept the default value, which maximizes performance. If your program uses many forms or if the forms contain many items, however, EGL generates a large number of COBOL variable names, and the COBOL compiler symbol table can become so large that compilation fails.
If you need to avoid the compilation problem just described, set oneFormItemCopybook to yes; then, the EGL-generated code will invoke a COBOL SET statement whenever a form-item property value is accessed.
