EGL Reference Guide for iSeries
A linkage options part describes how a generated EGL program implements calls
and transfers and how the program accesses files. To edit the
part's callLink element, do as follows:
- When you are working in the EGL or EGL Web perspective, open an EGL build
file with the EGL build parts editor.
If you do not have a file open, do as follows in the Project
Navigator:
- Right-click on the EGL build file
- Select Open With > EGL Build Parts Editor
- By default, the Outline view is open in the EGL perspective. If you
are working in the EGL Web perspective, open the Outline view by selecting
Show View > Outline from the Window menu. In
the Outline view, right-click a linkage options part and click
Open. The EGL part editor displays the current part
declaration.
- Click the Show CallLink Elements button on the editor toolbar.
- To add a new CallLink element, click Add or press the Insert
key, and type the Program Name (pgmName) or select a program name from the
Program Name drop-down list.
- To change the default call type associated with your program name, you can
either:
- Select the corresponding row in the CallLink elements list, then click the
Type field (localCall, remoteCall, ejbCall) once to put the field into edit
mode. Select the new call type from the Type drop-down list.
- In the Properties of selected callLink elements list, click the type
property once to put the Value field associated with that property into edit
mode. Select the new call type from the Value drop-down list.
- Other properties associated with your program name are listed in the
Properties of selected callLink elements list based on the call type.
To change the value of one of these properties, select the program
name. In the Properties of selected callLink elements list, click the
property you want to define once to put the Value field associated with that
property into edit mode. Define the new value by selecting an option in
the Value drop-down list, or by typing the new value in the Value
field. For some properties, you can only select an option in a
drop-down list. For other properties, you can only type a value in the
Value field.
- Modify the CallLink elements list as needed:
- To reposition a callLink element, select an element and click either
Move Up or Move Down.
- To remove a callLink element, select the element and click
Remove or press the Delete key.
