Installation Procedure

Be sure to read Installation Process and Major Natural Features before you start the installation procedure.

• Step 1: Build the Natural Parameter Module

• Step 2: Relink the Nucleus or Load Modules Dynamically

Step 1: Build the Natural Parameter Module

(Jobs I060 and I080)

1. Activate the Natural Optimizer Compiler by adding the following macro to your Natural parameter module:

   NTOPT 'INDX,OVFLW,ZD=OFF'

   See also Macro NTOPT in the Natural Optimizer Compiler documentation.

2. Assemble and link the Natural parameter module.

Step 2: Relink the Nucleus or Load Modules Dynamically

You can either statically link the Natural Optimizer Compiler modules to the nucleus or dynamically load them when initializing a Natural session.

Relink the Nucleus:

(Job I060)

Adapt the link steps for Natural:

1. Add the following INCLUDE statement to the link of the environment-independent nucleus to include the Natural Optimizer Compiler modules:

   INCLUDE NOCNUC,NOCvrs.MOD

2. Relink your nucleus as described in Link the Nucleus in Installing Natural.

Installation Verification

You can verify the successful installation of the Natural Optimizer Compiler by performing the following steps:

1. Recatalog an existing program or write a new program and then catalog it.

2. Check the directory information for the program you have just cataloged, by using the following LIST system command:

   LIST DIR object-name

   The directory information for the specified object will be displayed, showing the size of the machine code at the bottom of the screen.
