A record part defines a structure (a hierarchical layout of fixed-size
data elements in storage) and an optional binding, which is a relationship
of the record to an external data source (file, database, or message queue).
EGL record parts are contained in EGL files. To create an EGL record part,
do as follows:
- Identify an EGL file to contain the record part and open that file in
the EGL editor. You must create an EGL file if you do not already have one.
- Type the specifics of the record part according to EGL syntax (for details,
see Basic record part in EGL source format, Indexed record part
in EGL source format, MQ record part in EGL source format, Relative
record part in EGL source format, Serial record part in EGL source
format, and SQL record part in EGL source format).
You can use content assist to place an outline of the record part syntax in
the file.
- Save the EGL file.
