- dataTablePartName
- Name of a dataTable part that is visible to the program or library.
A reference in a use declaration is unnecessary for a dataTable part that
is referenced in the program property msgTablePrefix.
You cannot override properties of a dataTable part in the use
declaration.
For an overview of dataTable parts, see DataTable part.
- libraryPartName
- Name of a library part that is visible to the program or library.
You cannot override properties of the library part in the use
declaration.
For an overview of library parts, see Library part.
- formGroupPartName
- Name of a formGroup part that is visible to the program or library.
For an overview of form groups, seeFormGroup part.
A program that uses any of the forms in a given formGroup part must have a
use declaration for that formGroup part.
No overrides occur for form-level properties. If a property like
validationBypassKeys is specified in a form, for example, the value
in the form is in effect at run time. If a form-level property is not
specified in the form, however, the situation is as follows:
- EGL run time uses the value in the program's use declaration
- If no value is specified in the program's use declaration, EGL run
time uses the value (if any) in the form group
The properties that follow let you change behaviors when a form group is
accessed by a specific program.
- helpGroup = yes, helpGroup = no
- Specifies whether to use the formGroup part as a help group. The
default is no.
- validationBypassKeys = bypassKeyValue
- Identifies a user keystroke that causes the EGL run time to skip
input-field validations. This property is useful for reserving a
keystroke that ends the program quickly. Each bypassKeyValue
option is as follows:
- pfn
- The name of an F or PF key, including a number between 1 and 24,
inclusive.
- Note:
- Function keys on a PC keyboard are often f keys such as f1, but
EGL uses the IBM pf terminology so that (for example) f1 is called
pf1.
- helpKey = helpKeyValue
- Identifies a user keystroke that causes the EGL run time to present a help
form to the user. The helpKeyValue option is as
follows:
- pfn
- The name of an F or PF key, including a number between 1 and 24,
inclusive.
- Note:
- Function keys on a PC keyboard are often f keys such as f1, but
EGL uses the IBM pf terminology so that (for example) f1 is called
pf1.
- pfKeyEquate = yes, pfKeyEquate = no
- Specifies whether the keystoke that is registered when the user presses a
high-numbered function key (PF13 through PF24) is the same as the keystroke
that is registered when the user presses a function key that is lower by
12. For details, see pfKeyEquate.
