Defaulting Parameters for Referenced Functions

The copy process defaults parameters for internally-referenced functions that are based on the *Template file using the two fields defined for the *Template file:

• *Template key defn—If this field is a parameter on the referenced function, it is replaced with the target file’s key fields.
• *Template record defn—If this field is a parameter on the referenced function, it is replaced with the target file’s non-key fields.

Note: In both cases all fields are used. As a result, for the *Template key defn field, if this is used as a RST parameter for a template function, the new function is a fully restricted function based on the target file with each key field specified as a restrictor.
