Creating Template Object Files on page 1-11 and Installing Templates By Using
SYSGENR on page 1-14 outline the process of adding templates to a system.
Creating Template Object Files
1. Build one or more DDL dictionaries.
Gather or create the DDL definition files you need for each application. Use the
DDL compiler to build a DDL dictionary for each application or a composite DDL
dictionary for all of the applications. You can specify only one DDL dictionary when
compiling a template source file.
2. Create template object files.
Gather or create a template source file for each application. Use TEMPL to
compile each template source file—specifying the appropriate DDL dictionary. This
creates a new template object file for each application. The template object file
contains the templates for the application.
