9.66 EXECUTE_TEMPLATE

Note: Built-In Function Rules     Usage Options

Executes an application template to generate RDML function code into a working list

Generated RDML code is appended to the END of the working list, so the list may need to be cleared before (via the CLR_LIST command) before invoking the application template.

Alternatively, multiple templates may be executed serially to progressively build up the resulting RDML function code.

This Built-In Function can only be used against a function that has been previously placed into an edit session using the START_FUNCTION_EDIT Built-In Function.

Special Note: This Built-In Function provides access to very advanced facilities that basically allow RDML functions to construct new RDML functions.

This is a very specialized area that requires very good knowledge of the LANSA product. Use of this Built-In Function in a commercial application (e.g. Order Entry) is not normal and should not be attempted.

This is a Specialized Built-In Function for use in a Development Environment only.
