Possible completion codes and termination information are:
For information on the OUTVAR command, see the TACL Programming Guide . For
completion code information, see the Guardian Procedure Calls Reference Manual .
When you use TEMPLI just to display version information from template files, you can
omit the TEMPLI parameters res-file and nonres-file. (SEE VERSION
Command on page 5-6.)
Resident and Nonresident Template Files
The templates for both resident and nonresident template files come from the template
files specified by FILE commands in the TEMPLI command file:
•
The resident template file contains the templates that are kept CPU resident. The
system needs these templates during a coldload or at other times when access to
the disk might not be possible.
•
The nonresident template file contains the resident and nonresident templates.
Command Files
The command file directs the operations that TEMPLI is to perform. These conventions
apply to all commands and to the file as a whole:
•
In the command file, each command occupies one line.
•
Comment conventions are the same as in TACL. Specifically, TEMPLI ignores:
°
Two equal signs (==) and the characters that follow them on the same line
°
Characters enclosed in braces ({}) within a line
Comments can go anywhere in the source file.
•
To improve readability, use extra spaces between language elements and use
blank lines anywhere.
