The following table lists all of the properties that you can use to modify EGL parts, variables, and statements.
The "Type" column contains internal EGL descriptions. They translate as follows.
Pseudo-properties are called ExternalType fields; unless they carry the (RO) designation, which indicates that they are read only, these ExternalType fields are the only properties whose values can be changed at run time.
The third column shows where the property is used. "Function" is a function within a container part such as a Program or Service, while a "Standalone function" is not contained within another part. "Variable" means not only a global or local variable of any type (such as primitives, record variables, or service variables), but also a field in a record (but not a structured record).
