Editing the transferToTransaction element of a linkage options part

A transferToTransaction element of a linkage options part specifies how a generated program transfers control to a transaction and ends processing, as occurs when the originating program uses the transfer to transaction statement. To edit the transferToTransaction element, follow these steps:
  1. Locate the EGL build file you want to work with in the Project Explorer view. To find it, open the EGL Source folder, and look for a file with the extension EGLBLD. Right-click on the build file to open the pop-up menu.
  2. In the pop-up menu, select Open With > EGL Build Parts Editor. The Build Parts Editor opens the Build Descriptor part automatically; the default view is the General Options view.
  3. If you have the Outline view open, you will see the Build Descriptor part listed under the name of your build file. If you do not have the Outline view open and want to open it, select Window > Show View > Other; in the Show View dialog box, click to expand General and select Outline.
  4. In the Outline view, right-click a linkage options part and click Open. The EGL Build Parts Editor displays the current part declaration.
  5. Click the Show TransferLink Elements button on the editor toolbar. The Transfer to Program and Transfer to Transaction lists display.
  6. To edit the Transfer to Transaction list, follow these steps:
    1. At the bottom of the Transfer to Transaction list, click Add or press the Insert key, and type a value in the To Program (toPgm) field, or select a program name from the To Program name drop-down list.
    2. If an alias name is needed, select the row in the Transfer to Transaction list that you want to edit, then click the Alias field once to put the field into edit mode. Type the alias name.
    3. To edit the Externally Defined property associated with your program name, select the row in the Transfer to Transaction list that you want to edit, then click the Externally Defined field once to put the field into edit mode. Select the externally defined property from the Externally Defined drop-down list.
    4. If a package name is needed, as might be the case for Java™ if the From Program (fromPgm) is not in your workspace or is in a different package than the To Program (toPgm), select the row in the Transfer to Transaction list that you want to edit, then click the Package Name field once to put the field into edit mode. Type the package name into the field.
    5. Modify the Transfer to Transaction list as needed:
      • To reposition a transferToTransaction element, select an element and click either Move Up or Move Down.
      • To remove a transferToTransaction element, select an element and click Remove or press the Delete key.
