In VisualAge Generator, the link edit part is typically named
programName.suffix, where the first part of the name is the
same as the VAGen program name and the suffix is LKG. The VAGen
/linkedit generation option specifies the value for the suffix.

By default, in EGL the link edit part name must be the same name as the
program name. If this is the case you do not need to specify the link
edit build descriptor option.
If you have multiple link edit parts for a program, then you must use
different part names for the program's link edit build descriptor option
parts. In this case, you must specify the complete link edit part name
in the linkedit build descriptor option.
| If the suffix is .LKG, the migration tool removes the suffix when
creating the new EGL link edit part. If the suffix is anything other
than .LKG, the migration changes .suffix to
_suffix because periods (.) are not valid characters in EGL
part names.

A VAGen link edit part contains the link edit statements needed for
linkediting a program during the preparation process in a host
environment.

The migration tool does the following:
- Converts any symbolic parameters that are used within the link edit part
to the corresponding EGL replacement symbolic parameter.
- Uses the same indentation as in the VAGen part.
