Object Specification - Natural Library Objects

To choose a name from a selection list of all libraries available, open the drop-down list box.

The database ID of the system file where the Natural libraries are stored.

The file number of the system file where the Natural libraries are stored. If no values (or 0) are specified for DBID and FNR, the current FUSER or FNAT system file is used.

The Adabas password of the system file where the Natural libraries are stored.

The Adabas cipher code of the system file where the Natural libraries are stored.

The default is an asterisk (*), which selects all objects available.

Only evaluated if the check boxes Natural programming objects and/or Shared resources are selected in the details window, which is the default. See also Natural Library Object Details.

Only evaluated if the Error messages check box is selected in the details window, which is the default. See also Natural Library Object Details.

Ranges are not allowed if the Predict set option is selected.

See DBID in Natural Library Objects above.

Natural DDMs (data definition modules): In remote environments located on mainframe platforms, DDMs are located in the FDIC system file. They are not considered Natural library objects. In other system environments, DDMs are considered Natural programming objects, which are stored in Natural libraries.

If the FDDM system file has been activated, see also Use FDDM file for processing DDMs in Settings - Options.

Note that shared resources are not defined in remote environments located in mainframe systems.

Note:
Stowed and Both are valid for the unload function only.

This option is used to read the names of the objects to be processed from a retained set. A retained set is created with the save set option of the LIST XREF command.

If the Predict set option is selected, the following applies:

• The Name text box must contain asterisk (*) indicating all objects. This is the default setting.

• The Library list box must contain the name of a single library. Name ranges are not allowed.

• The Set number box must be filled.

For detailed information on Predict sets, refer to the Predict documentation.

A one- or two-digit number that identifies the retained set to be used.

The name of the library to be searched for a Predict set. If you do not specify a name, the library entered in the Library list box is used by default.

The ID of the user who created the retained set. If no ID is entered, the ID specified with the system variable *USER (see the System Variables documentation) is used.
