Setting up document templates

Document templates are CICS® resources, which you define using DOCTEMPLATE resource definitions.

The name of the template, which is used in EXEC CICS DOCUMENT API commands to refer to the template, is specified in the TEMPLATENAME attribute of the resource definition. The DOCTEMPLATE resource definition also specifies the source of the template, the format of the data (binary or EBCDIC), and whether CICS appends a carriage-return line-feed to each record in the template.
