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 transfer-related elements, 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 build parts editor displays the current part
declaration.
- Click the Show TransferLink Elements button on the editor toolbar.
The Transfer to Program and Transfer to Transaction lists display.
- To edit the Transfer to Program list, do as follows:
- At the bottom of the Transfer to Program list, click Add or
press the Insert key, and type the From Program (fromPgm) name or select a
program name from the From Program name drop-down list.
- To edit the To Program (toPgm) name, select the corresponding row in the
Transfer to Program list, then click the To Program field once to put the
field into edit mode. Type the program name or select a program name
from the To Program drop-down list.
- If an alias name is needed, select the corresponding row in the Transfer
to Program list, then click the Alias field once to put the field into edit
mode. Type the alias name.
- To change the default linkage type associated with your program name,
select the corresponding row in the Transfer to Program list, then click the
Link Type (linkType) field once to put the field into edit mode. Select
the new linkage type from the Link Type drop-down list.
- Modify the Transfer to Program list as needed:
- To reposition a transferToProgram element, select an element and click

name from the To Program name drop-down list.
- If an alias name is needed, select the corresponding row in the Transfer
to Transaction list, then click the Alias field once to put the field into
edit mode. Type the alias name.
- To edit the Externally Defined property associated with your program name,
select the corresponding row in the Transfer to Transaction list, then click
the Externally Defined field once to put the field into edit mode.
Select the externally defined property from the Externally Defined property
drop-down list.
