VisualAge Generator to Enterprise Generation Language Migration Guide

Map groups, maps, and device sizes

VisualAge Generator: VisualAge Generator supports device sizes for display maps with a depth and width of 6x40, 12x40, 16x64, and 255x160.

EGL: EGL supports common device sizes for text forms, but does not permit device sizes of 6x40, 12x40, 16x64, and 255x160 for COBOL generation. These devices are supported for Java generation..

Associated part needed for migration: Not applicable.

Migrating with the associated part
Migrating without the associated part
When migrating a map group, the migration tool includes the original depth and width in the screenSize property within the ScreenFloatingArea property. The tool also issues a warning message. The migration tools does the same thing as mentioned in the Migrating with the associated part column.
When migrating a display map, the migration tool includes the original depth and width in the screenSizes property for the migrated text form. The tool also issues a warning message. The migration tools does the same thing as mentioned in the Migrating with the associated part column.

Potential Problem: These devices are not supported by EGL COBOL generation. There will be an error during preprocessing.

Solution: If you generate for COBOL, edit the formGroup and the text form in EGL and either remove or change the obsolete screen size.

The same problem listed under the Migrating with the associated part column can occur. You can use the same solution.
