This command is used to set Natural session parameters.
Note:
In batch mode, this command is only executable, if
parameters are specified. For example, GLOBALS SM=ON
can be executed in batch mode.

The system command GLOBALS and the statement
SET GLOBALS offer
the same parameters for modification. They can both be used in the same Natural
session. Parameter values specified with a GLOBALS
command remain in effect until they are overridden by a new
GLOBALS command or SET
GLOBALS statement, the session is terminated, or you log on
to another library.
Some parameter values may be overridden during program execution using
the LIMIT,
EJECT, and
FORMAT statements and
by format entries specified in INPUT,
DISPLAY,
PRINT, and
WRITE statements.
