Concurrency and compatibility for TEMPLATE

The TEMPLATE utility has certain concurrency and compatibility characteristics associated with it.

TEMPLATE is a control statement that is used to set up an environment for another utility to follow. The template is stored until it is referenced by a specific utility. The list is expanded when it is referenced by another utility. At that time, the concurrency and compatibility restrictions of that utility apply, and the catalog tables that are necessary to expand the list must be available for read-only access.
