PROGRAM - Non-Natural Program Receiving Control after Termination

This Natural profile parameter specifies a non-Natural back-end program which is to receive control after the termination of the Natural session.

Possible settings 1-8 characters Non-Natural back-end program.
numeric value Setting a numeric value, for example PROGRAM=0, indicates "no back-end processing". This is particularly relevant when Natural is invoked by a front-end program, because a default may be taken if PROGRAM is blank or not specified; see Front-End Invoked via XCTL in the TP Monitor Interfaces documentation.
Default setting none  
Dynamic specification yes It can also be set dynamically from within a Natural program by calling the Natural subprogram CMPGMSET which is provided in the library SYSEXTP.
Specification within session yes  
Application Programming Interface USR4001N (available on mainframes) See SYSEXT - Natural Application Programming Interfaces in the Utilities documentation.
USR6204N (available on all platforms)

Data for the program specified with the PROGRAM parameter can be supplied with the TERMINATE statement.

For the conventions of calling non-Natural back-end programs, see Back-End Program Calling Conventions in the Operations documentation.

CICS-Specific Information:

In addition to back-end programs, the Natural CICS interface also supports back-end transactions which may be specified via RET=XXXX or RTI=XXXX or STR=XXXX instead of a program name, with XXXX being a valid CICS transaction ID.
