Template Source File
A template source file includes Template Language statements for a single application.
Example 3-3 shows a template source file with formatting directions for the EMS event
message ZEMS-EVT-BACKUP-CREATED (which is described in the EMS Manual ).
•
The three lines that begin with equal signs (==) are comments.
•
The next three lines are VERSION, SSID, and SSNAME statements, which provide
information that applies to the entire file.
•
The remaining lines contain an MSG (template definition) statement. Typically,
there are many such statements.
This MSG statement causes the creation of a format template for the BACKUP-
CREATED event message.
The format template generated from Example 3-3 helps produce display text like that in
Example 3-4.
This display text is similar to the quoted strings of Example 3-3, but the edit markers
(<1>, <2>, and <3>) are replaced by token values: values of the ZEMS-TKN-
NEWPROCESS-CPU, ZEMS-TKN-NEWPROCESS-PRIORITY, and ZEMS-TKN-
