Analyze External Action Blocks

CA Gen uses the views defined in the EAB to generate the stub for the interface routine. From the views in the EAB, determine:

• The data that the EABs will receive from the generated application
• The data that must be returned to the generated application
• Any processing that will be required to implement the EAB

The import and export views shown in the stub are supplied by the procedure step or action block that invokes the EAB. The import views define the data that is passed from the generated application to the interface routine. The export views define the data returned to the generated application from the interface routine.
