This Natural profile parameter enables you to access various Natural environments, that is, various err, txt, bin, etc, samples and tmp subdirectories.
| Possible settings | any character string | Determines the Natural version. |
|---|---|---|
| Default setting | v.r.s |
Note: |
| Dynamic specification | yes | This parameter can only be specified dynamically. |
| Specification within session | no |
Where v.r.s is the current
version of Natural. In the following sample programs, the characters
v.r.s stand for the
version, release, system maintenance level.
The NATVERS value you enter is used by Natural to
determine the SAG.INI section you want to use with your
Natural session. By default, the Natural installation creates a section in the
SAG.INI file that points to the installed Natural
environment.
The Natural installation automatically identifies the Natural version and
creates the section [NATURAL=v.r.s] in
your SAG.INI file that points to the installed Natural
environment. This might look as in the following example:
[NATURAL-v.r.s] PROD_API=C:\Program Files\Software AG\v.r.s\Bin\natprd32.dll NATGUI_BMP=C:\Program Files\Software AG\Natapps\Pic NATDIR=C:\Program Files\Software AG NATINI=C:\Program Files\Software AG\v.r.s\Etc [NATURAL-v.r.s-END]
If you want to access envrionments other than the one that was installed automatically, create a new section for each environment as shown in the following example:
[NATURAL-Serverv.r.s] NATVERS=v.r.s PROD_API=\\Server\Program Files\Software AG\v.r.s\Bin\natprd32.dll NATGUI_BMP=\\Server\Program Files\Software AG\Natapps\Pic NATDIR=\\Server\Program Files\Software AG NATINI=\\Server\Program Files\Software AG\v.r.s\Etc [NATURAL-Serverv.r.s-END]
Replaced settings are still contained in the SAG.INI file and can be used by specifying them with NATVERS to switch to the corresponding Natural environments.
