Templates are a Multi-Edit is similar to the MASK function for ISPF and the abbreviation list for VI.
It allows you to type a few characters (keyword) to generate syntactically correct code with "fill
in the blank" areas. The templates contain text surrounded in the "back leaning" quote mark.
These represent code pieces that must be entered to suit the specific requirements for this
location. They are called field strings. You can use Cntl-i to hop to the next field string
beyond the cursor. This selects the whole field string so that typing overwrites it all. Find out
more about how to use templates in the
online manual.

comments to describe the use of the code and options. Find out more in the
manual.

display dialog boxes allowing you to pick (with check boxes) all the options and
sub statements and their options
you want included in the proc step. Find out how these work in the

| Debug and Comment templates: These templates create comment blocks
or prolog comments, most would not be invoked by a keyword, but instead by a button or menu choice.
Find out details about how to use debug
and comment templates in the manual. |

| FuncCasade | f() | Function Cascade is a template invoked, menu
driven method to invoke a function template by picking it from a list. You will be presented with
a popup menu. This menu presents a list of major groups of functions. As you make selections the
last popup disappears and a new one appears in its place listing a subset of groups or actual
function names. Learn how this works in the manual. |
