Discussion
The DD_TEMPLATE subroutine returns information about template definitions. There are two ways to call DD_TEMPLATE:
- DDT_INFO enables you to retrieve general information about a template.
- DDT_TEXT enables you to retrieve textual information about a template.
DDT_INFO
If you pass DDT_INFO, the DD_TEMPLATE subroutine reads the specified template. If that template is not found, the relevant error code is returned in the control structure. If it is found, the template name is recorded in the control structure and general information is returned in t_info.
DDT_TEXT
Once a template has been selected, the DDT_TEXT function is then valid. The DDT_TEXT function is used to obtain textual or variable-length information about the template. For each type of textual information, a corresponding field in the t_info record is non-zero. For example, if the ti_desc field in the t_info record is non-zero, a short description exists for the template. If you pass DDT_TEXT along with the non-zero field, the corresponding textual information is returned.
