External Action Blocks in Component Modeling

When an EAB is packaged into an operations library, you must compile the EAB separately and store it in an externals library before you can build the operations library. Set the Build Tool script token LOC.EXTERNAL_LIB to the name of the externals library before building the operations library.

If the EAB is a public operation in the operations library, the consuming application's listing file must specify the lib file for the externals library.

If the EAB is a private operation in the operations library, the user must ensure that no function in the consuming model uses the same name as the private EAB function. The Build Tool cannot guarantee the outcome of an application that has multiple declarations of the same function.
