EGL Server Guide for iSeries


Outputs of generation

After you generate an application, a number of objects must be transferred to the iSeries host system as members in various iSeries physical files. On the iSeries host system, these members must be prepared before the application can be run.

Table 4 provides information about the types of files produced by generation, including the following:

Refer to the EGL Reference Guide for more information on controlling and modifying generation and preparation of iSeries objects.

Notes:
  1. The generator produces ILE COBOL for the iSeries environments.
  2. Generated application, table, and form group objects are environment dependent. All objects are generated for one environment and cannot be used in another environment.
  3. This object is produced only if the form group contains print maps.
  4. This object is produced only if the form group contains terminal maps.
