EGL Reference Guide for iSeries

Format of the import statement

The syntax is as follows for the import statement in an EGL file:

  import packageName.partSelection;
packageName
Identifies the name of a package in which to search. The name must be complete.
partSelection
Is a part name or an asterisk (*). The asterisk indicates that all parts in the package are selected.

An import statement in a build file identifies other build files whose parts can be referenced by parts in the importing file. The import statements follow the <EGL> tag in the build file, and each statement has the following syntax:

  <import file=filePath.eglbld>
filePath
Identifies the path and name of the file to import. If you specify a path, the following statements apply:

You may specify an asterisk (*) as the file name or as the last chararacter of the file name. If the asterisk is used, EGL imports all the .eglbld files with these characteristics:

The file extension .eglbld is optional.
