RCALIAS - External Name Definition for Non-Natural Programs

This Natural profile parameter can be used to define the external names of static non-Natural programs which are defined by profile parameter RCA and loaded for dynamic linking during the initialization of a Natural session. It corresponds to the NTALIAS macro in the parameter module NATPARM.

Possible settings

internal-program-name

external-program-name

List of name pairs:

internal-program-name defines the internal name of a non-Natural program (used by the CALL statement) that must also be defined by the parameter RCA or CSTATIC (only if RCA=ON).

external-program-name defines the corresponding external alias name for the load request during session initialization.
OFF No external names for RCA modules are defined. This value can be specified dynamically only.
Default setting OFF  
Dynamic specification yes This parameter can only be specified dynamically. In the Natural parameter module NATPARM, the macro NTALIAS must be used instead.
Specification within session no
