This Natural profile parameter controls the dynamic linking of static non-Natural programs to the Natural nucleus during initialization of the Natural session.
| Possible settings | ON |
At Natural startup, the list of all static non-Natural programs to be linked to Natural is scanned and a load request is issued for all modules whose addresses are unresolved. If a load request fails, no error message is issued. The use of |

No dynamic linking of static non-Natural programs is performed. | |

Static non-Natural programs have to be defined for being linked to
Natural either internally (by using the macro NTINV
within the modules NATPARM and
NATCONFG) or
externally (by using the profile parameter CSTATIC).
If the external name of the non-Natural program is different from the
internal one (as used by the CALL statement), you can use either
the profile parameter RCALIAS or the macro
NTALIAS
to define which external name is to be used for the load request.
Under CICS: A PPT entry has to be defined
to allow the load request for a non-Natural program. Static non-Natural
programs are called via standard linkage conventions rather than EXEC
CICS LINK requests.
