Explain about File Tailoring..

Answer / dimpy19

1.File-tailoring services read skeleton files and write tailored output that can be
used to drive other functions.
2.Frequently, file tailoring is used to generate job files for batch execution.

the temporary file is to be used for output
FTINCL - Specifies the skeleton to be used and starts the tailoring process
FTCLOSE - Ends the file-tailoring process
FTERASE - Erases an output file created by file tailoring
