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
field is unchecked.
The Valid field must be checked to be able to use the file template.
Please note that the Valid 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.
