remotePgmType in callLink element

The linkage options part, callLink element, property remotePgmType specifies the kind of program being called. The property is applicable in the following situation:
EGL
The called program is a COBOL or Java program that was generated by EGL or by VisualAge® Generator; in this case, the caller is a Java program or Java wrapper. This value is the default.
EXTERNALLYDEFINED
The called program was generated neither by EGL nor by VisualAge Generator. This option is available only in the following cases:
  • The caller is a Java program, and the called program runs on CICS and includes CICS commands.
  • Alternatively, the caller is a Java program, and the called program is either an EGL-generated Java program or a non-EGL-generated DLL or a C or C++ program.

    If the caller is invoking a DLL, set the library property to the name of the shared library if it isn't the same as the name of the function being called within the DLL
