# parameter-setting

The parameter-setting clause is used to change attributes for the `LOAD` or `UNLOAD` command for the objects to be processed and to define target destinations for the `LOAD` command (for example, FNAT).

The following syntax applies to the parameter-setting clause:

`WITH` |
| (parameter-workplan) parameter-clause |

For an explanation of the syntax that applies to parameter-workplan, refer to Referencing Workplans in the section Workplans.

This section covers the following topics:

## Syntax of parameter-clause

The syntax of the parameter-clause is shown in the following diagram. If indicated, a variable value must be supplied with a keyword.

## Keyword Explanation of parameter-clause

The keywords and variable values (if relevant) of the parameter-clause are explained in the following section.

Keyword | Values | Restricted to Command
--- | --- | ---
`NAME` | The object name to be checked if `NEWNAME` is specified. |
`NEWNAME` | A new object name. Anmerkung Not applicable to DDMs on z/OS platforms. |
`LIBRARY` | The library name to be checked if `NEWLIBRARY` is specified. |
`NEWLIBRARY` | A new library name. Note for the LOAD function: `NEWLIBRARY` does not affect the library name used in the delete instruction of a work file that is processed with the `DELETEALLOWED` option. |
`LOADFNATDBID` | The database ID (DBID) of FNAT libraries. | `LOAD`
`LOADFNATFNR` | The file number (FNR) of FNAT libraries. | `LOAD`
`LOADFNATNAME` | Only applies to objects on z/OS. An FNAT VSAM file name. | `LOAD`
`LOADFNATCIPHER` | Only applies to objects on z/OS. An FNAT cipher code. | `LOAD`
`LOADFNATPASSWORD` or `LOADFNATPSW` | Only applies to objects on z/OS. An FNAT Adabas password. | `LOAD`
`LOADFUSERDBID` | The DBID of FUSER libraries. | `LOAD`
`LOADFUSERFNR` | The FNR of FUSER libraries. | `LOAD`
`LOADFUSERNAME` | Only applies to objects on z/OS. An FUSER VSAM file name. | `LOAD`
`LOADFUSERCIPHER` | Only applies to objects on z/OS. An FUSER cipher code. | `LOAD`
`LOADFUSERPASSWORD` or `LOADFUSERPSW` | Only applies to objects on z/OS. An FUSER Adabas password. | `LOAD`
`LOADNCPDBID` | The DBID of the Adabas file for Natural command processor sources. | `LOAD`
`LOADNCPFNR` | The FNR of the Adabas file for Natural command processor sources. | `LOAD`
`LOADNCPNAME` | Only applies to objects on z/OS. The VSAM name of the Adabas file for Natural command processor sources. | `LOAD`
`LOADNCPCIPHER` | The cipher code of the Adabas file for Natural command processor sources. | `LOAD`
`LOADNCPPASSWORD` or `LOADNCPPSW` | Only applies to objects on z/OS. The Adabas password of the Adabas file for Natural command processor sources. | `LOAD`
`FDTDBID` | The DBID of the Adabas FDT (Field Definition Table) to be checked if `NEWFDTDBID` is specified. |
`NEWFDTDBID` | A new DBID of the FDT. |
`FDTFNR` | The DBID of the FDT to be checked if `NEWFDTFNR` is specified. |
`NEWFDTFNR` | A new FNR of the FDT. |
`ERRNUMDIFF` | A number (positive or negative) that is to be added to the Natural error messages during the `UNLOAD` or `LOAD` command. `ERRNUMDIFF` can only be specified if `FMNUM` and `TONUM` (see select-clause) have been specified as selection criteria. Otherwise, it is not possible to check for valid results. |
`LANGUAGE` | Up to 8 valid language codes (for example, code `1` for English) of Natural error messages to be checked if `NEWLANGUAGE` (see below) is specified. If language contains more than one language code, new-language must contain the same numbers of language codes. Each language language code is replaced by the language code in the corresponding position of new-language. If language is not specified, new-language must not contain more than one language code. |
`NEWLANGUAGE` | Up to 8 valid language codes (for example, code `4` for Spanish) for new user-defined error messages. This option does not apply to the long texts of Natural system error messages for which English (language code `1`) is the only valid language. See also `LANGUAGE` above. |
`DATE` | An object date. You can add a time by inserting a blank between date and time. For the format and ranges allowed, see Date and Time in Name, Date and Time Specification. |
`NEWDATE` | A new object date. `NEWDATE` can be a date followed by a time value. You can add a time by inserting a blank between date and time. See also Date and Time in Name, Date and Time Specification. |
`USERID` | The user ID to be checked if `NEWUSERID` is specified. |
`NEWUSERID` | A new user ID. |
`TID` | Only applies to objects on z/OS. The terminal ID to be checked if `NEWTID` is specified. |
`NEWTID` | Only applies to objects on z/OS. A new terminal ID. |
`PATH` | The path name to be checked if `NEWPATH` is specified. |
`NEWPATH` | A new path name. |

Anmerkungen:

1. Parameters not applicable to the selection criterion processed are ignored.
2. `LOADFNAT...`, `LOADFUSER...` and `LOADNCP...` are used for the `LOAD` command only, and ignored otherwise.
3. `LOADFNAT...` is used for libraries starting with `SYS` (except SYSTEM).
4. `LOADFUSER...` is used for libraries not starting with `SYS` (but including SYSTEM).
5. `LOADNCP...` is used for Natural command processor sources.
