The Template Editor

The Template Editor is an area in which you can work directly with templates, independently from specific data sets. You can use this editor to create and modify dynamic or regular COBOL and PL/I copybook templates.

The Template Editor offers various options for creating new templates and editing existing templates for use within the Formatted Data Editor. Templates improve the functionality of the Formatted Data Editor by providing a particular interpretation of a data set. The Template Editor allows you to specify what that interpretation is by providing the tools necessary to easily create and modify templates. Having this functionality gives you additional control over the way you interact with your data. The File Manager Integration Template Editor provides a similar level of editing functionality as is available in IBM® File Manager. For more information about the IBM File Manager ISPF template editor, see the IBM File Manager for z/OS® User's Guide and Reference (SC19-2495).

The Template Editor is used to modify existing templates.

The following topics and their subtopics provide an overview of the core features of the Template Editor:
