externallyDefined in transferToTransaction element

The externallyDefined property of the transferToTransaction element of the linkage options part indicates whether you are transferring to a program that was produced by software other than EGL or VisualAge® Generator. This property is only used in COBOL generation. Valid values are NO (the default) and YES.

As an alternative to using the externallyDefined property of the transferToTransaction element, you can specify isExternal = YES on the transfer to transaction statement. If you specify YES, the transfer to transaction is done in such a way that EGL releases resources held by the EGL runtime environment.

For COBOL environments, the transfer to transaction is done as follows:

You can find more information about transfer statements in the EGL Language Reference.
