#### FSEC Parameter Syntax

The `FSEC` parameter syntax is as follows:

FSEC=(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 Natural Security system file is located. Notes: Database ID `255` is reserved for logical system files, see Natural profile parameter `LFILE`. If no `FSEC` system file is available, do not enter anything in the file number field.
`file-number` | `1-65535` | File number of the database file in which the Natural Security system file is located. Note If no `FSEC` system file is available, do not enter anything in the file number field.
`password` | 1 - 8 characters | Password for the Natural Security system file. Notes: A password is only required if the Natural Security 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 Natural Security system file.
`RO` | - | Read-only option. Note The `RO` option is not supported on this platform.
