Use this activity to make sure that an external file template definition
is valid. This validation should be performed each time definitions of the template
have been modified but also when the Valid Definition field is unchecked.
The Valid Definition field must be checked to be able to use the file template.
Please note that the Valid Definition field is not modified automatically
when e.g. the template details are modified.
To make the check meaningful a complete definition of an external file template such as template header, template details, input and output file options and file template control statements should have been defined first.
If the current definitions of the external file template are considered as
valid then the Valid field will be checked and the template referred to when
processing an input file or creating an output file.
However note that even
if an external file template is marked as valid, the template will not be seen
in List Of Values unless the template is marked as active and has been defined
as an input file or output file template.
