DDL
DDL 
After the generation process, the user subvolume contains DDL source code that 
produces the copy libraries for COBOL85 and TAL, the two programming languages 
supported by EMS FastStart. 
Copy Libraries
Copy libraries for your application are produced by the compilation of the DDL source 
file. 
EGEN 
EMS FastStart uses an Application Configuration File (ACF) to generate a TAL routine 
called EGEN (Event GENerator). EGEN is bound into the user application and 
generates events by performing a WRITE-READ of the event buffer to the collector $0, 
or to an alternate location you specify. 
Test Program
An interactive COBOL85 test program (ATM1PROG) lets you enter values for events 
based on your ACF. It calls EGEN to generate events and is compiled as part of EMSFS. 
This program lets you test the interface between your application and EGEN. When 
testing events, you can isolate testing data from production data by writing events to a 
location other than the event log.
