LFILE
can be used for Software AG products which
have their own system files (for example, Con-nect, Natural Review) to specify where
such a system file is to be located. Such products use the database ID 255 and a
logical file number in their data
definition modules (DDMs). With the LFILE
parameter, you specify which
physical file number and database ID (and, if applicable, password and
cipher key) are associated with that logical file number. Natural maps the logical file
number to the physical file number and database ID and uses it for any database
calls.
The following topics are covered below:
The LFILE
parameter is specified as follows:
LFILE=(logical-fnr,physical-dbid,physical-fnr,password,cipher-key) |
Where:
Note:
To define different logical files, the LFILE
parameter must be
specified multiple times (separated by a comma or a blank); see Example of LFILE
Parameter.
LFILE=(180,73,10),LFILE=(251,40,9,TEST99)
