# BPTEXT - Size of Text Segments in Natural Buffer Pool

This Natural profile parameter specifies the size of the segments into which the text pool area of the Natural buffer pool is divided.

Possible settings | `1`, `2`, `4`, `8`, `12` or `16` | Size of the buffer pool text segments in KB.
Default setting | `4` |
Dynamic specification | yes | This parameter can only be specified dynamically.
Specification within session | no |

Notes:

1. This Natural profile parameter corresponds to the `TXTSIZE` specification of the `BPI` profile parameter or the `NTBPI` macro.
2. Internally, the `BPTEXT` specification is converted into an equivalent `BPI` specification; for example: `BPTEXT=4` is converted into `BPI=(TYPE=NAT,SEQ=0,TXTSIZE=4)`.
3. The `BPTEXT` parameter only applies to the primary Natural buffer pool (`TYPE``=NAT`, `SEQ``=0`). In the case of a global buffer pool, it is ignored. If there is a primary buffer pool with `SEQ=0` in the Natural parameter module, only the `TXTSIZE` setting of this buffer pool is updated.
4. In multi-user environments (for example, under CICS), the `BPTEXT` parameter only affects the very first Natural session, which initializes the local buffer pool.
5. For general information on the Natural buffer pool, see Natural Buffer Pool in the Operations documentation.
