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 language.

Nowadays even "old" 3-GL programming languages like "C", PL/1 and COBOL provide the feature to specify specific business orientated data types. Using NATURAL I do not want to be rated as "outdated".
