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...

NSC Password Phrase without Natural ICU Handler

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 ...

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...
