User-Provided External Action Blocks

An external action block is defined using the Action Diagramming Tool. For more information about defining an external action block using the Action Diagramming Tool, see the Action Diagramming User Guide.

An external action block requires just three components:

• Import Views
• Export Views
• The designation that it is external

An external action block contains no action statements of its own. The EXTERNAL designation tells CA Gen that a non-CA Gen generated program is used to obtain the data for the external action blocks export views.
