Re: What is "BASED(StructureTemplate)"

I'm looking forward to the day when I can use the TEMPLATE keyword.

But, as James is looking for v4r4 compatibility, I doubt he'll be using it any time soon :)

Just an ad and/or reminder about the TEMPLATE keyword (new in v6r1).
Use TEMPLATE instead of BASED(@) or BASED(Template) or whatever. It's
clear for readers of the code. And if someone accidentally tries to use
the template in calculations, they get a compile time error instead of a
pointer-not-set error at runtime.

TEMPLATE has an added bonus over BASED that you can code INZ for a
template DS, enabling INZ(*LIKEDS) to be used on LIKEDS definitions.
