Natural Parameters and System Variables

The following Natural parameters and system variables are evaluated in Natural for Ajax applications and sent to Application Designer:

  • DC

    The character assigned to the DC parameter is used in the representation of decimal fields in Application Designer.

  • DTFORM

    This parameter is used for all date fields in Application Designer pages. In your application, the date is shown according to the setting of the DTFORM parameter.

  • EMFM

    The value of the EMFM parameter is evaluated for fields in Application Designer pages for which a dynamic edit mask has been assigned. See also Usage of Edit Masks.

  • *CURS-FIELD

    Identify the operand that represents the value of the control that has the input focus. When the Natural system function POS is applied to a Natural operand that represents the value of a control, it yields the identifier of that operand.

  • *LANGUAGE

    Change the language while an application is running. See also Multi Language Management.
