*DefineProcedure(def_write, ds, tem_write_vehpar)
 
 *Write(ds.filename.value, CREATE, tem_write_vehpar)
*EndDefine()
*Template(tem_write_vehpar, "Write Vehicle Parameters",

Comments

The number and type of user-defined arguments depends on the procedure definition.

Multiple procedures can be created using the same procedure definition. The *DefineProcedure() block must end with an *EndDefine() statement.
