Possible settings	See COMP Parameter Syntax.
Default setting	See Keyword Subparameters.
Dynamic specification	yes	The parameter `COMP` can only be specified dynamically. In the Natural parameter module, use the macro `NTCOMP`.
Specification within session	no

Note:
For information on the Natural Com-plete/SMARTS Interface, see Natural under Com-plete/SMARTS in the TP Monitor Interfaces documentation.

Keyword Subparameters

EXIT - User Exit Module Name

EXIT=value defines a user exit module name which can be called during a session initialization before Natural is initialized.

Value:	Explanation:
1 - 8 characters, or `' '` (blank)	Name of user exit.
`' '` (blank)	No user exit is used. This is the default value.

HCDTID - Initialization of Hardcopy Destination

HCDTID=value controls the initialization of the hardcopy destination.

Value:	Explanation:
`ON`	The hardcopy destination is initialized with the terminal ID.
`OFF`	The hardcopy destination corresponds to the logical terminal name. This is the default value.

INITID - Content of *INIT-ID

INITID=value controls the content of the system variable *INIT-ID.

Value:	Explanation:
`TIBNAM`	`*INIT-ID` contains the logical unit name of the user's terminal.
`TID`	`*INIT-ID` contains the string `lbnnnnnn` , where `l` is the stack level on which the session is running, `b` is blank and `nnnnnn` is the TID number, right justified without leading zeroes. This is the default value (Natural terminal ID).
`CPATCH`	`*INIT-ID` contains the same string as with `INITID=TID`, except that `b` is the Com-plete patch character instead of a blank.

LC - Enable Lower-Case Mode

LC=value can be used to switch the terminal between lower-case and upper-case mode.

Value:	Explanation:
`ON`	Lower-case mode. This is the default value.
`OFF`	Upper-case mode.

LE 370 - LE/370 Environment Usage

LE370=value specifies the usage of LE/370 as preinitialized environment (CEEPIPI interface) under Complete/SMARTS.

Value:	Explanation:
`ON`	All 3GL calls are handled in the preinitialized LE/370-enclave.
`OFF`	This is the default value.

MSGHDR - Activation of Message Header

MSGHDR=value activates or deactivates a message header for Natural error and termination messages using Com-plete's message switching facility for asynchronous Natural transactions.

Value:	Explanation:
`ON`	The message header is activated. This is the default value.
`OFF`	The message header is deactivated.

NTHSIZE - Natural Thread Size

NTHSIZE=value specifies the size of the storage area used for Natural's buffers, data areas and thread.

Value:	Explanation:
`256 - 2097151`	Size in KB. The actual upper limit is determined by the size of the Com-plete thread.
`1024`	This is the default value.

Note:
This storage area is allocated within the physical Com-plete thread. The remaining area (Com-plete region size RG for the Natural transaction minus NTHSIZE value) is available for dynamically loading non-Natural subroutines, increasing of variable Natural thread buffers or for Natural work pools, for example.

SERVER - Name of Natural Server

SERVER=value defines the name of the Natural server which is initialized during Com-plete startup.

Value:	Explanation:
1 - 8 characters	Name of the Natural Server.
`NCFNAT82`	This is the default value.

Notes:

The specified server is used to maintain common storage and tables across Natural sessions, for example, local buffer pools. The server must be defined in the Com-plete startup.
It is possible to copy the supplied server module NCFNAT82 under a different name and to link and run different Natural Com-plete interfaces with different servers, that is, with different sets of local buffer pools in the same Com-plete.

SPIEA - Activation of ABEXIT Exits

SPIEA=value activates or deactivates the ABEXIT exits.

Value:	Explanation:
`ON`	Activates the `ABEXIT` exit. This is the default value.
`OFF`	Deactivates the `ABEXIT` exit. Should be used for test purposes only.

THABOVE - Location of Natural Thread

THABOVE=value determines the location of the Natural thread (see NTHSIZE parameter).

Value:	Explanation:
`ON`	The Natural thread is allocated in the Com-plete thread extension above the 16 MB line. This is the default value (use Com-plete thread extension).
`OFF`	The Natural thread is allocated in the physical Com-plete thread below the 16 MB line

TTY`xxx` - TTY Device Control Characters

TTYxxx=value sets teletypewriter (TTY) device control characters. The following hexadecimal values can be set:

Value:	Explanation:
`TTYCR=0D`	TTY carriage return
`TTYLF=15`	TTY line feed
`TTYIC=00`	TTY idle character
`TTYNIC=00`	TTY number of idle characters
`TTYBS=16`	TTY backspace
`TTYAL=07`	TTY alarm

Note:
There is no default value.

UCTRAN - Lower-Case to Upper-Case Translation of Com-plete/SMARTS Error Messages

UCTRAN=value controls the lower-case to upper-case translation of the Com-plete/SMARTS error messages.

Value:	Explanation:
`ON`	Upper-case translation enabled.
`OFF`	Upper-case translation disabled. This is the default value.

U2PRINT - Dynamic Printer Allocation

U2PRINT=value controls Com-plete's dynamic printer allocation feature for hardcopy requests.

Value:	Explanation:
`ON`	Natural calls for hardcopy requests Com-plete's `U2PRINT` routine to specify a printer destination.
`OFF`	Disables the dynamic hardcopy printer allocation. Natural uses the default value from Natural profile parameter `HCDEST`. This is the default value.

Example of COMP Parameter

COMP=(LE370=ON,INITID=TIBNAM,NTHSIZE=2000)

Example of NTCOMP Macro

         NTCOMP LE370=ON,                                              *
               INITID=TIBNAM,                                          *
               NTHSIZE=2000
