Calling Java
There are several ways to call Java code when you are generating Java from EGL. This topic covers a few of the
most common ways, including using the system functions in the JavaLib
system library such as javaLib.invoke(),
and declaring an ExternalType part.
Working with substrings
You can use brackets to treat a CHAR(n) or STRING variable
as an array of characters.
Encrypting passwords
You can encrypt passwords with an EGL command-line utility.
Password encryption is supported only for Java programs and the debugger, not for COBOL
programs.
Handling errors
With EGL, you can decide
how your program behaves in case of errors.
