The
callLink element of a linkage options
part specifies how a generated Java™ or
COBOL program calls another particular program, as occurs when the
calling program uses the
call statement.
To edit the
callLink element of a linkage
options part:
- 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 the build file and then click . 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, click ; in the Show View window, 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 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 or select a program
name from the Program Name drop-down list.
- To change the default call type associated with your program name,
perform one of the following steps:
- Select the corresponding row in the CallLink Elements list,
and then click the Type field once to make
the field editable. 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 make the Value field
associated with that property editable. 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
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.
- 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.
