This Natural profile parameter specifies the size of the segments into which the text pool area of the Natural buffer pool is divided.
It corresponds to the TXTSIZE
specification
of the BPI
profile
parameter or the NTBPI
macro.
Possible settings | 1, 2, 4 |
Size of segments in KB. |
---|---|---|
Default setting | 4 |

Dynamic specification | yes | This parameter can only be specified dynamically. |
Specification within session | no |
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 NATPARM
, only the
TXTSIZE
setting of this buffer pool is updated.
In multi-user environments (for example, under CICS), the
BPTEXT
parameter only affects the very first Natural
session, which initializes the local buffer pool.
Internally, the BPTEXT
specification is converted
into an equivalent BPI specification.
BPTEXT=4
is converted into:
BPI=(TYPE=NAT,SEQ=0,TXTSIZE=4)
