The
fileLink element of a linkage options
part specifies how CICS® accesses
a particular file. To edit the
fileLink element
of a linkage options part, follow these steps:
- Locate the EGL build file you want to work with in the Project
Explorer view. To find it, open the EGL Source folder, and look for
a file with the extension EGLBLD. Right-click on the build file to
open the pop-up menu.
- In the pop-up menu, select . The Build
Parts Editor opens the Build Descriptor part automatically; the default
view is the General Options view.
- If you have the Outline view open, you will see the Build Descriptor
part listed under the name of your build file. If you do not have
the Outline view open and want to open it, select ; in the Show View dialog box, click to expand General and
select Outline.
- In the Outline view, right-click a linkage options part and click Open.
The EGL Build Parts Editor displays the current part declaration.
- Click the Show FileLink Elements button
on the editor toolbar.
- To add a new fileLink element, click Add or
press the Insert key, and type the file name, or select a file name
from the File Name drop-down list.
- To change the default file access type associated with your file
name, you can either:
- Select the corresponding row in the FileLink Elements list,
then click the Type field once to put the field
into edit mode. Select the new linkage type from the Type drop-down
list.
- In the Properties of selected fileLink elements list,
click the type property once to put the Value field
associated with that property into edit mode. Select the new linkage
type from the Value drop-down list.
- Other properties associated with your file name are listed in
the Properties of selected fileLink elements list
based on the linkage type. To change the value of one of these properties,
select the file name. In the Properties of selected fileLink
elements list, click the property you want to set once
to put the Value field associated with that
property into edit mode. Set 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.

- To reposition a fileLink element, select
an element and click either Move Up or Move
Down.

an element and click Remove or press the Delete
