This Natural profile parameter defines five subparameters for the Predict system file which Predict uses to retrieve and/or store data.
Note:
In a remote development environment, a Development Server File is
used instead, see the SPoD - Natural's Single Point of
Development and the Natural Development Server
documentation.
| Possible settings | database-ID |
1 - 65535, except
255 |
Database ID 255 is reserved for
logical system files for Software AG products, see profile parameter
LFILE.
|
|---|---|---|---|
file-number |
1 -
65535:
|
File number. | |
password |
1 to 8 characters |
The password is only required if the Predict system file has been password-protected using the Adabas security feature. Note for Natural with VSAM system
files: The password is used to specify the logical name (DD or DLBL)
of the system file as defined to VSAM. Example:
For further information, see Using Natural with VSAM System Files in the Natural for VSAM documentation. |
|
cipher-key |
1 to 8 numeric digits | Cipher key for the Predict system file. It is only required if the Predict system file has been ciphered using the Adabas security feature. | |
RO |
Read-only option.
|
||
| Default setting | none | ||
| Dynamic specification | yes | If you specify the
FDIC parameter dynamically in conjunction with any of
the parameters DBID,
FNR,
SYSPSW and
SYSCIP, you must
specify the FDIC parameter after any of these
other parameters.
|
|
| Specification within session | no | ||
The syntax for this parameter is:
| FDIC=(database-ID,file-number,password,cipher-key,RO) |
FDIC=(10,5,PASSW1,12345678) FDIC=(1,200,,12345678) FDIC=(1,5) FDIC=(,5)
If any subparameter of the FDIC setting is
not specified, the corresponding setting of the parameter
DBID,
FNR,
SYSPSW or
SYSCIP applies
for the Predict system file.
