EGL Reference Guide for iSeries
The build descriptor option prep specifies whether EGL begins
preparation when generation completes with a return code <= 4. Valid
values are YES and NO, and the default is YES.
Even if you set prep to NO, you can prepare code later. For
details, see Invoking a build plan after generation.
Consider these cases:
- When you generate a COBOL program, EGL writes preparation messages to the
directory specified in build descriptor option genDirectory, to the
results file, and to additional files that are each specific to a preparation
step
- When you generate Java code into a directory, EGL writes preparation
messages to the directory specified in build descriptor option
genDirectory, to the results file
- When you generate Java code into a project (option genProject),
the option prep has no effect, and preparation occurs in either of
two situations:
- Whenever you rebuild the project
- Whenever you generate the source files; but only if you checked the
workbench preference Perform build automatically on resource
modification
If you wish to customize the generated build plan, do as follows:
- Set option prep to NO
- Set option buildPlan to YES (as is the default)
- Generate the output
- Customize the build plan
- Invoke the build plan, as described in buildPlan
