Saving templates

To save a new template, select Save from the pop-up menu in the Export/Import Template view, and give the template a name and optionally a comment that identifies its use.


The template is stored inside the DataWindow object in the PBL.

After saving a template with a DataWindow object, you can see its definition in the Source editor for the DataWindow object. For example, this is part of the source for a DataWindow that has two templates. The templates have required elements only:

export.xml(usetemplate="t_address"
          template=(comment="Employee Phone Book" 
           name="t_phone"  xml="<d_emplist><d_emplist_row
           __pbband=~"detail~"</d_emplist>") 
           template=(comment="Employee Address Book" 
           name="t_address" xml="<d_emplist><d_emplist_row
           __pbband=~"detail~"</d_emplist>"))
