Identifying External Action Blocks

The Install Control Module (ICM), associated with each load module contains an EAB identification section. The section begins with the Generalized Markup Language (GML) tag :extern and ends with :eextern. Between the beginning and ending tags are the names of all EABs referenced by the load module.

There is an EAB identification section for each EAB referenced by the load module. All EABs in the load module are identified in the same section of the ICM.

If the ICM for a load module you are working with contains :extern and :eextern tag pairs, you have EABs that need to be completed before building this load module.

The following example identifies two EABs from an ICM:

:extern
member=EXTERNAL1
name=XTRN_SAM1
techsys=BUS_SYSTEM
:eextern.

:extern
member=EXTERN2
name=XTRN_SAM2
techsys=BUS_SYSTEM
:eextern.
