Adding a link edit part to an EGL build file

If you are developing COBOL programs that run on z/OS®, the link edit part provides a way to create information for a link edit file. You can add a link edit part to an EGL build file. To add a link edit part, follow these steps:
  1. In the Project Explorer view, locate the EGL build file you want to work with by opening the EGL Source folder and looking for a file with an .eglbld extension.
  2. Right-click the build file and select Open With > EGL Build Parts Editor. The Build Parts Editor opens the Build Descriptor part to the General Options view.
  3. If you have the Outline view open, you will see the build parts 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 window, expand the General node and select Outline.
  4. In the Outline view, right-click the build file, and then click Add Part.
  5. Click Link Edit, then click Next.
  6. In the Name field, type the name for your link edit part. Choose a name that conforms to EGL part name conventions. For information about how to select a link edit part name, see linkEdit.
  7. In the Description field, type a description of your part.
  8. Click Finish. The link edit part is added to the EGL build file and the link edit part page is opened in the EGL build parts editor. Type in your link edit commands.
