This Natural profile parameter can be used to define the external names
of modules defined by profile parameter RCA as being statically linked
to the Natural nucleus and requested for dynamic loading during the
initialization of a Natural session. RCALIAS corresponds
to the NTALIAS
macro in the Natural parameter module.
| Possible settings | See RCALIAS Parameter Syntax. | |
|---|---|---|
| Default setting | OFF |
See RCALIAS Parameter Syntax. |
| Dynamic specification | yes | This parameter can only be specified dynamically. In the
Natural
parameter module, the macro
NTALIAS
is used instead.
|
| Specification within session | no | |
The following topics are covered below:
The parameter syntax of RCALIAS is as
follows:
| RCALIAS=(internal-module-name,external-module-name,internal-module-name,external-module-name) |
Or:
| RCALIAS=OFF |
Where:
| Syntax Element | Value | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
internal-module-name |
1 - 12 characters. | The internal name of the module (used by the
CALL statement) that
must also be defined by the profile parameter RCA or
CSTATIC (only if
RCA=ON).
|
external-module-name |
1 - 12 characters. | The corresponding external alias name for the load request during session initialization. |
| - | OFF |
No external names for modules defined by profile
parameter RCA as being statically linked to the Natural
nucleus are defined.
|
Note:
With the profile parameter RCALIAS you can
specify multiple name pairs; see
Example of RCALIAS
Parameter.
The NTALIAS macro is specified as follows:
NTALIAS internal-module-name,external-module-name
Where:
| Syntax Element | Value | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
internal-module-name |
1 - 12 characters. | The internal name of the module (used by the
CALL statement) that
must also be defined by the profile parameter RCA or
CSTATIC (only if
RCA=ON).
|
external-module-name |
1 - 12 characters. | The corresponding external alias name for the load request during session initialization. |
Notes:
NTALIAS macro must be specified
for each name pair; see Examples of NTALIAS
Macros.
OFF cannot be specified with the
NTALIAS macro; it can only be specified dynamically with
the profile parameter RCALIAS.
