# STOW

`STOW` [object-name [library-id]]

Related commands: `SAVE` | `CATALOG`.

This command is used to catalog (compile) and store a Natural object (in both source and object form) in the current Natural system file. You can regard this command as a `CATALOG` followed by a `SAVE`.

`STOW` | If you use the command without object-name, the source code held in the source area as well as the generated code will be stored under the same name in the current library. Existing source and object code will be replaced.
`STOW object-name` | Use this command syntax to store a new object (source and generated code) named object-name in the current library. If the object exists in either source or cataloged form, the command is rejected.
`STOW object-name library-id` | If both object-name and library-id are specified, a new object will be created and stored under that name in the specified library ID. If the object exists in either source or cataloged form, the command is rejected.

Note
If an `FDIC` system file is specified in the parameter file which is not valid, Natural will display an appropriate error message when the `STOW` command is issued.
