This Natural profile and session parameter controls the action to be
taken if the limit of retrieved records was exceeded in a
READ,
FIND or
HISTOGRAM processing
loop. The limit may be specified either globally for a Natural object by using
the LIMIT statement or
by specifying an explicit limit value supplied in the database processing loop.
Within a Natural session, the profile parameter LE
can be overridden by using the session parameter LE.
| Possible settings | ON |
The database loop will be terminated when the limit is reached. The
program flow will continue normally with the statement following the terminated
database loop. When the execution of the Natural object is complete, error
