VisualAge Generator: VisualAge Generator permits, but does not recommend, unnamed variable fields on a map. At generation time, unnamed variable fields are converted into constants. Programs and functions can never reference the unnamed variable field.
EGL: EGL does not permit unnamed variable fields on a form.
Associated part needed for migration: Not
applicable.

For any unnamed variable fields on the map, the migration tool checks to
see if any of the following are specified:
If any of the above are specified, the migration tool creates a constant field with the corresponding EGL properties and issues a warning message. | The migration tool does the same thing as mentioned in the Migrating with the associated part column. |
If none of the properties are specified for the unnamed variable field, the migration tool does the following:
| The migration tool does the same thing as mentioned in the Migrating with the associated part column. |
Potential Problems: None. You could not reference
the field in VisualAge Generator.
| Potential Problems: None. |
