Command interface to LIST XREF in a subprogram

Just like SYSMAIN has a MAINUSER subprogram interface for direct commands, it would be very useful to have the same for LIST XREF. Right now, we are limited to accessing SYSDIC ourselves, using TEST DBLOG to figure out how you guys do it, then cop...

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 ...

ADABAS-Utilities: LPB-Limit 32 k too small

The Prefetch Buffer Size (LPB) for utilities is too small (max. 32K). We start a NATURAL-Batch-program with a multi-fetch-buffer (ADARUN PREFSBL = Single-Buffer-Length) of 4.600.000. In this Case we need about 5000 Calls to read a file with 2,3 ...

Create a user exit in SYSEXT to perform a SCAN across all FUSER or FNAT

Create a user exit in SYSEXT to perform a SCAN across all FUSER or FNAT .It can be similar to the existing SCAN tool. The replace function is not required and may be a bit dangerous. This way we can search all source code for a specific string, be...

Editor Buffer Pool management of Recovery Files

Most of the Natural applicative programmers do not delete their Recovery Files - which results from time to time in an overflowed EBP. My suggestion is to: (a) Make a timeout parameter for Recovery Files as well (same as FTOUT for Logical Files). ...

Introduce User-Defined Data Types

There is a SAG strategie (or statement)called "ADABAS & NATURAL 2050+" Based on this I would like to have "User-Defined Data Types". I assume that the audience is familiar with this concept. When NATURAL was introduced it was called a 4-GL lan...

Support server names and userid’s longer than 8 characters in display
