VisualAge Generator to Enterprise Generation Language Migration Guide

Reserved words and formGroup names


Figure 18. Reserved words and formGroup names

(Ref #24.)
Migrating with the associated part
Migrating without the associated part
The migration tool does not rename the formGroup for you. The migration tool used in Stage 1 of migration issues an error message if the map group name matches the reserved word list. If you do not change the map group name, the migration tool used in Stage 2 of migration also issues an error message. The migration tool does the same thing as mentioned in the Migrating with the associated part column.

Potential Problem: A problem only arises if the formGroup name matches the reserved word list. EGL validation results in a message on the Tasks list.

Solution: Rename the map group in VisualAge Generator before you migrate or the formGroup in EGL after you migrate. If you rename the map group in VisualAge Generator, be sure to rename all the maps that belong to the map group. Also change all references to the map group in all program definitions. If you rename the formGroup in EGL, you must change the name of the formGroup and all references to it, including references in program use declaration statements. If you want to keep the original map group name as the name for the generated formGroup, set the alias property to the original map group (formGroup) name. If you do not specify the alias property, be sure to change any non-EGL references to the formGroup name, including CICS program definitions.

The same problem listed under the Migrating with the associated part column can occur. You can use the same solution.
