Build Template (BLDTPL)

The BLDTPL command aids in composing RPG-XML Suite template (*.tpl) files. These are then converted using the CRTRPGTPL Command, which are in turn used with the Template/Composition Engine subprocedures (RXS_StartComposeEngine(), RXS_ComposeSection, RXS_ComposeVariable(), and RXS_GetComposeBuffer()) to compose XML documents.

Note: You will need to make manual modifications to the generated .tpl file prior to using it with the CRTRPGTPL Command.

Please follow our example on Creating an RXS Template to understand this process.
