Hi All,

I am trying to use ISPF File tailoring operations FTINCL to Include a template with substitution variables.

Example 1:
If I have the Skeleton content as
)CM -------------------------------------------------------------------
TRY THIS
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="CP037"?>
<resource name="&RESNME"/>

Output: 1
After FTINCL, I am getting outPut as
TRY THIS

Example 2:
If i have skeleton content as
)CM -------------------------------------------------------------------
TRY THIS
?xml version="1.0" encoding="CP037"?
resource name="&RESNME"

Output 2:
TRY THIS
?xml version="1.0" encoding="CP037"?
resource name="ETROP04"

How can we ignore or escape these < and or > characters or Any thoughts on how we could best achieve this senario.

Thank you,
Ravikanth Chavali

Use the )DEFAULT statement in the skeleton to override the use of "<" and ">" as control characters by FTINCL.

I have tried the (DEFAULT statement as described below that I guess I was doing something wrong.

In Skeleton, replaced < with @ and > with #
)DEFAULT )ø?!@|#
@?xml version="1.0" encoding="CP037"?#
@manifest type="MANIFEST_SHIPLIST"#
@resource name="&RESNME"/#

OutPut 1:
Blank file

However I also tried passing < and or > as substitution variables values from the REXX and that worked.

In the Rexx, before executing FTINCL
gtSymb = '>'
ltSymb = '<'

In the Skeleton,
)CM -------------------------------------------------------------------
TRY THIS
&LTSYMB.?xml version="1.0" encoding="CP037"?&GTSYMB
&LTSYMB.resource name="&RESNME"/&GTSYMB

Note: I have used the . to separate substitution variable from the text that immediately follows, but since &GTSYMB was the last char of the line used it as is. Also tried with . that also worked.

OutPut 2:
TRY THIS
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="CP037"?>
<resource name="RKANTH"/>

You're doing it wrong. The purpose of the )DEFAULT statement is to change the control characters; if you then change the skeleton to use the new control characters, you have undone what you attempted to do.

After posting my previous reply. I realized the mistake I am doing. Infact 2 mistakes.

1. On the )Default statement mistakenly I changed the & with ø.
2. Once I changed the default behaviour of < and > to @ and #. I have changed the skeleton to use the new defaults. Defeating the purpose of using different symbols for that purpose.

I corrected these mistakes and it worked fine. Thank you so much!
In the Skeleton
TRY THIS
)DEFAULT )&?!@|#
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="CP037"?>
<resource name="&RESNME"/>

OutPut:
TRY THIS
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="CP037"?>
<resource name="RKANTH"/>

Once again thank you so much,
