+        Note: Normally, a template test case would have many rows of data arguments as in the example above.
+              However, contributors frequently define multiple template test cases that each have only
+              one row of data which may seem to defeat the value of using templates in the first place. However,
+              it is done for these reasons:
+              1) Template tests are counted as a single test. The user may wish to have separate results for
+                 each call to the template function.
+              2) If any call to the template function fails, one would like FFDC data collected immediately
+                 and would like one set of FFDC data for EACH such failure.
