Use underscore in numbers as separator

This only concerns programming, not execution. And also any platform (mainframe, LUW). When you need to code large numbers in a program, you can only use the decimal point to separate digits between the integer and fraction part. But if you want t...

Allow for I8 datatype

OpenSystems hardware has it for a long time, z/Series has it for quite a while now, so by now there is no platform NOT natively supporting 64-bit arithmetic. So please introduce an I8 datatype into Natural - on all supported platforms (and NOC as ...

Allow spacer element (“1X”) in COMPRESS statement

With a COMPRESS statement the contents of one or more operands (Vari or Const) can be concatenated into a single target field. Beside some other options, two different clauses are available to determine the value separation behavior. (1) With LEAV...

Extension of the shutdown command for the NOM monitor to set a time value

Using the modify command „F ESYxxx,SHUTDOWN=NOM” to shutdown the NOM monitor, the NOM monitor is working until there is "nothing" left to do. So it is not possible to get the NOM monitor down in a predictable time. The only possibility is to shutd...

Allow (CV=) after a literal string

Natural allows the use of dynamic control variables during INPUT and WRITE. BUT: the use of those (CV=<control_variable>) is restricted to a variable, not to a literal text. If you want to have a different visual behavior for a string, you m...
