From a Template Function

A template function is a customized function that you can copy to create a new function. All internally-referenced functions are automatically mapped to the target file if they are based on the internal *Template file. In other words, the copy facility creates new referenced functions based on the target file if they do not already exist, selecting or creating needed access paths. The result is a set of functions that are as close as possible to a completed version of the functions as if they had been hand-coded.
