Hi

Today, I cant override the work file type, outside in a linux script

    Hello Hezi,

    Could you share the use case and why does you need to do the changes from script?

    Do you need to change it before Natural starts or during Natural execution?

    Natural work file could be set with CONST, it might solve some of your needs.
