Thank you very much for your suggestion.
Indeed, I have been missing to fully understand some of the core requirements in order to make use of TEMPINC successfully.
Implementation-wise, in my email example I had to add ..
template
class Record<Order>;
.. in my IONUT.H header file ; that forced, according to what I've understood, the creation of the specialized template instance in TEMPINC , which was then properly found at binding time by the compilation unit that was using it ( IONUTMAIN *MODULE ) .
As with #pragmas hashome/ishome, I will give it a try, shortly.
Thank you very much, again,
Ionut

I am trying to use templates in my C++ application, but it looks like
the definition of the template instance fails to be found in case it
is defined in a different module.
I read the IBM docs regarding templates and their suggestions to use
either TEMPLATE(*TEMPINC) or TMPLREG(*DFT ) but none works.
Here is the example , containing three objects :
For TEMPINC at least you may be missing something to force the template to be instantiated. This is discussed in the C/C++ Programmer’s Guide in the section titled "Structuring a Program for TEMPINC-Managed Instantiations".
As an alternative you can use the pragmas IsHome and HasHome which are documented in the Compiler Reference section on pragmas. That is what I usually use.
