# FDIC - Predict System File

This Natural profile parameter defines the database ID, file number, password and cipher key for the Predict system file (FDIC), which Predict uses to retrieve and/or store data.

Possible settings | See FDIC Parameter Syntax.
Default setting | none |
Dynamic specification | yes |
Specification within session | no |

Notes:

1. In a remote development environment, a Development Server File is used instead, see the SPoD - Natural's Single Point of Development and the Natural Development Server documentation.
2. For information on system files, refer to System Files in the Operations documentation.

#### FDIC Parameter Syntax

The parameter syntax is as follows:

FDIC=(database-ID,file-number,password,cipher-key,RO)

Where:

Syntax Element | Value | Explanation
--- | --- | ---
`database-ID` | `1 - 65535`, except `255` | Database identification of the database in which the Predict system file is located. Notes: Database ID `255` is reserved for logical system files, see Natural profile parameter `LFILE`. If no `FDIC` is available, do not enter anything in the DBID field.
`file-number` | `1 - 65535` | File number of the database file in which the Predict system file is located. Note If no `FDIC` is available, do not enter anything in the DBID field.
`password` | 1 - 8 characters | Password for the Predict system file. Notes: A password is only required if the Predict system file has been password-protected using the Adabas security feature. The password feature is reserved for future use; currently, it is ignored.
`cipher-key` | 1 - 8 numeric characters | Cipher key for the Predict system file. Notes: A cipher key is only required if the Predict system file has been ciphered using the Adabas security feature. The cipher key feature is reserved for future use; currently, it is ignored.
`RO` | - | Read only option - not supported on this platform.
