How to export File Type and File Template to a .ins in IFS Applications?

To export the created File Type and File Template fully there is an existing File Template named ExtFileInsCreate (NOTE: This uses the procedure called External_File_Utility_API.File_Type_Create_Export). We could use this file template to create a .txt/.ins file that contains the full .ins script to create the File Type, File Template, etc. fully.
