Allow Natural ISPF and NaturalONE developers to develop in Parallel

NaturalONE is integrated with external repositories, such as Git. For organizations utilizing both NaturalONE DevOps and Natural ISPF, there is no single source of truth for the codebase. Enabling Natural ISPF to integrate with external repositori...

Decrypt NSC records from PLOG

From SI-505073, create a utility to allow the decryption of NSC records after they have been extracted from a PLOG. This would be an alternative / secondary way to retrieve modifications to the FSEC when the NSC logging records are not available. ...

Higher precision for *CPU-TIME

We need a higher precision for *CPU-TIME so that we can determine the CPU time consumed by individual RPC requests in a batch RPC server. The vast majority of our transactions are faster than 10ms. We currently do this using an assembler program, ...

extend Broker logon to all XC functions

using the "LS" function against a Broker from SYSRPC XC function does a pop up prompting for Broker login if EntireX Security is enabled. However, using anything like "PI"ng on a server just gives the error that no logon has been done (even if I'v...

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...
