I was able to figure it out:
I had to reinitialize the filevar between the opens of a template. I
have a dummy link in a link ......

L_STDCUST:
 ENDSCUST = 0;
 RETAIN LN 0;

 LN = 0;

 PUT 'IN LINK BEFORE LOOP ' LN= REQREFN= ENDSCUST=;
 LINK _DUMMY_;
 TEMPTYPE = 'MLT.STDCUST.TEMPLATE';
 DO WHILE(ENDSCUST=0);
   INFILE TEMPLATE FILEVAR = TEMPTYPE END=ENDSCUST;
     LN = LN+1;

===

===

RETURN;


_DUMMY_:

   TEMPTYPE = MLT.PLACE.HOLDER';

   INFILE TEMPLATE FILEVAR = TEMPTYPE END=ENDSCUST;
   FILE LOG;
   INPUT;
   PUT " I AM IN DUMMY";
   RETURN;


It worked, thank you all for your support. Now I have to start coding
properly.
