# CF - Character for Terminal Commands

This Natural profile and session parameter specifies the control character for Natural terminal commands; that is, the character which is to be used as the first character of any terminal command.

Possible settings | any special character | A terminal command must begin with the character specified here. The character specified with the `CF` parameter must not be the same as the one specified with the `HI` parameter (help character) or `IA` parameter (input assign character). should not be the same as the one specified with the `DC` parameter (decimal character) or `ID` parameter (input delimiter character). In the map editor, the control character for terminal commands is always "%" (so as to avoid conflicts with delimiter characters used in maps), no matter which character is defined with the `CF` parameter.
`OFF` | No control character for terminal commands is available. Terminal commands issued with `SET CONTROL` statements, however, are still accepted.
Default setting | `%` | A terminal command must begin with the character "%".
Dynamic specification | yes
Specification within session | yes | Applicable statements: | `SET GLOBALS`
Applicable command: | `GLOBALS`
Application programming interface | `USR0350N`, `USR1005N` * | See SYSEXT - Natural Application Programming Interfaces in the Utilities documentation. * Recommended.

Notes:

1. Within a Natural session, the profile parameter `CF` can be overridden by the session parameter `CF`.
2. Under Natural Security:, the setting of this parameter can be overridden by the Session Parameters option of the Library Profile.
