Accessing data in EGL

In EGL, you read the content of a file or database into a record.

For a basic understanding of the Record part in EGL, see Records and Record part. To customize these Record parts for different kinds of data files, EGL defines them with a particular stereotype (see Stereotypes).

The stereotypes for EGL data files include:

Records also include a resourceAssociation variable that specifies the physical file used for I/O (see resourceAssociation variable for file I/O).

Platform Issue
Rich UI File, database, and printer access is supported only by service access, not directly by the Rich UI application code. However, Rich UI supports non-structured Record parts and the SQLRecord stereotypes, as well as the BasicRecord and ExceptionRecord stereotypes.
