The Natural profile parameter PM specifies how
fields are to be printed or displayed.
Notes:
PM=I affects any system controlled output screen
items, that is, system variables and PF key lines. Moreover, all
non-alphanumeric fields, for example, numeric and date are affected. In
addition, for Natural Web I/O Interface terminals the field sequence is changed
from left to right into right to left. The field inversion routine is supplied
as assembler module NATPM in the Natural source library and can be
modified in case of need.
