genResourceBundle

When you are generating a VGWebTransaction program, a VGUI record, or a DataTable (type msgTable), the genResourceBundle build descriptor option specifies whether to generate a Java™ resource bundle, which is a Java object that contains strings to be presented at runtime. The content of a resource bundle generated for a VGUI record includes the web page title, labels, and help text; and the content of a resource bundle generated for a message table includes a set of messages.

When you are generating a VGWebTransaction program and have specified a value for the msgTablePrefix program property, EGL produces a message resource bundle regardless of the value of genResourceBundle.

If you want to specify a Java locale for the generated resource bundle, set the resourceBundleLocale build descriptor option.

Values

NO
YES (the default)
Set the option to YES in any of these cases:
  • You are generating a VGWebTransaction program and want a resource bundle for each VGUI record presented to the user
  • You are generating only a VGUI record and want a resource bundle for it
  • You are generating a DataTable that contains messages for presentation by a VGWebTransaction program
