Use the MKTMPF (Make Template File) command to create template files with message IDs that refer to text information about the error. Use a text editor to create an input file for your template. Input files may have any file name that is valid for your file system.
SYSLOG uses template files to format and display error data and user data in the error log entry. There should be a unique template file entry for each template ID used by your code.
For information regarding the template files and MKTMPF command, see the documentation in the OS/2 Warp Version 4 Tools Reference located in the Toolkit.
