LFILE can be used for Software AG products
which have their own system files (for example, Con-nect, Natural Review) to
specify where such a system file is to be located. Such products use the
database ID 255 and a logical file
number in their data definition modules (DDMs). With the
LFILE parameter, you specify which
physical file number and
database ID (and, if
applicable, password and cipher key) are associated with that logical file
number. Natural maps the logical file number to the physical file number and
database ID and uses it for any database calls.
The following topics are covered below:
The LFILE parameter is specified as follows:
| LFILE=(logical-fnr,physical-dbid,physical-fnr,password,cipher-key) |
Where:
Note:
To define different logical files, the LFILE
parameter must be specified multiple times (separated by a comma or a blank);
see Example of LFILE
Parameter.
LFILE=(180,73,10),LFILE=(251,40,9,TEST99)
