## NATAMUSR Module Description

The `NATAMUSR` module provides an exit interface (entry point `NATAM9EX`) for software vendors to handle Natural print and work files, that is, it actually consists of two parts:

- the Natural User Access Method stub `NATAMUSR` delivered with Natural and

- the Natural User Access Method exit `NATAM9EX` delivered by a software vendor.

## NATAMUSR Module Installation

The `NATAMUSR` module (with the access method exit) may be installed in one of the following ways:

- linked to the environment-independent nucleus,

- linked to the environment-dependent nucleus,

- linked to an alternative Natural parameter module (as loaded via profile parameter `PARM`),

- linked as a separate module; in this case, the following Natural profile parameters are required:

      RCA=(NATAM09),RCALIAS=(NATAM09,xxx),

  where xxx is the name of the separate module in the load library.

The environment-independent nucleus and the environment-dependent nucleus are described in Natural Nucleus Components for z/OS in the Natural Installation documentation.
