EGL Reference Guide for iSeries

Example

Let's assume that the master build descriptor contains these (unrealistic) option-and-value pairs:

  OptionX                02
  OptionY                05

In this example, the generation-specific build descriptor (called myGen) contains these option-and-value pairs.

  OptionA                20
  OptionB                30
  OptionC                40
  OptionX                50

As identified in myGen, the next build descriptor is myNext01, which contains these:

  OptionA                120
  OptionD                150

As identified in myNext01, the next build descriptor is myNext02, which contains these:

  OptionB                220
  OptionD                260
  OptionE                270

As identified in the master build descriptor, the next build descriptor is myNext99, which contains this:

  OptionZ                99

EGL accepts option values in the following order:

  1. Values for options in the master build descriptor:
      OptionX              02
      OptionY              05
    

    Those options override all others.

  2. Values in the generation-specific build descriptor myGen:
      OptionA             20
      OptionB             30
      OptionC             40
    

    The value for optionX in myGen was ignored.

  3. Values for other options in myNext01and myNext02:
      OptionD             150
      OptionE             270
    

    The value for optionA in myNext01 was ignored, as was the value for optionD in myNext02.

  4. Values for other options in myNext99:
      OptionZ              99
