# IFILE

Property | Description
--- | ---
Parameter type | Parameter file
Syntax | `IFILE =` `parameter_file_name`
Default value | There is no default value.
Modifiable | No
Range of values | Valid parameter filenames
Basic | No
Real Application Clusters | Multiple instances can have different values.

Use `IFILE` to embed another parameter file within the current parameter file. For example:

    IFILE = COMMON.ORA

You can have up to three levels of nesting. In this example, the file `COMMON.ORA` could contain a second `IFILE` parameter for the file `COMMON2.ORA`, which could contain a third `IFILE` parameter for the file `GCPARMS.ORA`. You can also include multiple parameter files in one parameter file by listing `IFILE` several times with different values:

    IFILE = DBPARMS.ORA
    IFILE = GCPARMS.ORA
    IFILE = LOGPARMS.ORA

Note: You must list multiple entries on contiguous lines of the parameter file.
