  2. Within a Natural session, the profile parameter WH can be overridden by the session parameter WH.
  3. When a Natural statement is executed which results in Adabas records being read and an update/delete operation could follow, Natural requests that Adabas places these records in hold status. See the Adabas Command Reference documentation for further information on hold processing.
  4. Under Natural Security, the setting of this parameter can be overridden by the Session Parameters option of the Library Profile.
