Example: Merging Two Simple Template Object Files
both files, so TEMPLI uses one copy of each of the templates generated from those
statements.
The SSNAME statement is different between the files. Normally, TEMPLI uses the
template from the file specified second. However, in this case, the template in the file
specified first has an abbreviated SSID specification. Because the abbreviated SSID
specification takes priority, TEMPLI uses the information derived from the first template
source file.
When TEMPL creates templates, they might not match one-to-one with the number of
statements. In the preceding example, these five templates are created from four
statements:
•
SSNAME abbreviation map template
•
SSNAME map template
•
SPI_BUFFER_FORMAT information template
•
VERSION record template
•
Formatting template
The first two templates contain information that includes the subsystem ID
abbreviation. They are not replaced by the second file’s templates. The last three
templates do not include this abbreviated subsystem ID information, so they are
replaced by the second file’s information (even though the information is the same).
