Profile Settings

Natural provides the option to customize the default settings of your current Object Handler utility environment. For this purpose, Natural provides the text object OBJHPROF in the Natural system library SYSOBJH. OBJHPROF is used to specify environment-specific default values for flags and options that appear when entering the corresponding Object Handler screens.

Beginn der Anweisungsliste To activate individual profile settings

  1. In online mode, enter the Object Handler internal command PROFILE (or SHOW PROFILE).

    This command invokes the Profile Maintenance tool that

    • displays a map with the general or user-specific profile parameters and their current values;

    • creates a new Object Handler profile with default values used internally in case an Object Handler profile does not exist;

    • allows you to modify general settings for the profile parameters in the Object Handler profile (controlled by Natural Security);

    • allows you to modify user-specific settings for the profile parameters in the Object Handler profile (controlled by Natural Security);

    • provides a description and help information for each profile parameter.

Enter PF4 to toggle user profile settings. You can use a Line Command to add, modify, or delete parameters from the user-specific profile.

Anmerkungen:

  1. If new parameters are added, the Profile Maintenance tool internal command UPDATE updates the changes into the Object Handler profile. For more information, invoke Help.
  2. The Object Handler profile itself is named OBJHPROF. It is located in library SYSOBJH. The default profile that is used for updates of the Object Handler profile is named OBJHDEFP. It is also located in library SYSOBJH.
