A linkage options part describes how a generated EGL program
implements calls and transfers and how the program accesses files. To edit
the part's callLink element, do as follows:
- To open an EGL build file with the EGL build parts editor, do as follows
in the Project Explorer:
- Right-click on the EGL build file
- Select Open With > EGL Build Parts Editor
- If the Outline view is not displayed, open that view by selecting Show
View > Outline from the Window menu.
- In the Outline view, right-click a linkage options part and click Open.
The EGL part editor displays the current part declaration.
- Click the Show CallLink Elements button on the editor toolbar.
- To add a new CallLink element, click Add or press the Insert key,
and type the Program Name (pgmName) or select a program name from the Program
Name drop-down list.
- To change the default call type associated with your program name, you
can either:
- Select the corresponding row in the CallLink elements list, then click
the Type field (localCall, remoteCall, ejbCall) once to put the field into
edit mode. Select the new call type from the Type drop-down list.
- In the Properties of selected callLink elements list, click the type property
once to put the Value field associated with that property into edit mode.
Select the new call type from the Value drop-down list.
- Other properties associated with your program name are listed in the Properties
of selected callLink elements list based on the call type. To change the value
of one of these properties, select the program name. In the Properties of
selected callLink elements list, click the property you want to define once
to put the Value field associated with that property into edit mode. Define
the new value by selecting an option in the Value drop-down list, or by typing
the new value in the Value field. For some properties, you can only select
an option in a drop-down list. For other properties, you can only type a value
in the Value field.
- Modify the CallLink elements list as needed:
- To reposition a callLink element, select an element and click either Move
Up or Move Down.
- To remove a callLink element, select the element and click Remove or
press the Delete key.
