# TMPSORTUNIQ - Unique Names for Temporary Sort Work Files

If this profile parameter is specified, Natural assigns a unique file name to the temporary work file generated during the sort operation. Any values specified with the `ETID` profile parameter are not included in the file name.

By default, Natural creates work file names with the values of the `ETID` setting and the user ID embedded. This results in file names which are unique to a particular Natural session, but may cause problems in environments where the `ETID` contains characters which are invalid within a file name, or where multiple Natural sessions are running which use the same user ID and no `ETID` specification (thus possibly resulting in work file names for sort operations being created which are not unique).

Possible settings | specified or not specified | If `TMPSORTUNIQ` is specified, Natural generates a unique name for the temporary sort work file.
Default setting | not specified |
Dynamic specification | yes |
Specification within session | no |
