The utility NATPAGE is used to capture screen output data (maps and reports) during a Natural session. The term screen in this context means the contents of the page buffer; that is, the logical page output by Natural.
The screen captures are stored in the Natural scratch-pad file as described in the relevant section in the Operations documentation.
The maximum number of screens that can be captured is determined by the
session parameter
PD, which is described in the
Parameter Reference documentation.
The NATPAGE utility consists of the following Natural terminal commands:
| Command | Function |
|---|---|
%P
|
Activates NATPAGE and captures the contents of the current screen and all subsequent screens. Screens captured previously are deleted. |
%I
|

%O
|
Deactivates NATPAGE. |
%S
|
Resumes NATPAGE. |
%E
|
Displays the screens captured with NATPAGE. |
See the Terminal Commands documentation for a detailed description of these terminal commands.
