The Natural profile parameter specifies how fields are to be printed or displayed.
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.
For detailed information on how to use the setting PM=I,
