Need a Symparm to reduce default (10x) initialization of Dynamic Array

When EGL is generated to COBOL a definition of Dynamic Array gets initialized by default 10 times. We would like to have a Symbolic Parameter (BuildDescriptor) to reduce this default initialization to less (ex. 1 time) to reduce memory consumption.

Memory de-allocation of Library Function variables before leaving the function

We would like to see the automatic de-allocate of the local Library Function Variables before leaving the Function. This would reduce the memory consumption of the CICS Transaction.

almost 8 years ago in IBM Rational Business Developer / EGL Language 1 Planned for future release

EGL/RUI is consuming unnecessary memory from the browser. We need an automatic garbage collection process just like in Java..

To manage memory consumption in EGL/RichUI applications, you have to either reuse widgets or destroy widgets 'manually'. Reusing widgets makes software unnecessary complex postponing memory issues in larger apps. Manually destroying widgets is tim...

Support substrings with length zero in EGL

EGL supports the concept of substrings by means of the syntax: source[start:end], which returns the substring of source from position start to end, including both start and end position. Currently, when end is less than start, a run-time exception...
