Release Information for Natural Version 6.3.10

This document covers the following topics:


Changes and Enhancements

New Option for PROCESS PAGE UPDATE Statement

The new option DATA is now available for the PROCESS PAGE UPDATE statement. This option behaves like the FULL option, with the exception that the MODIFIED status of the control variables is not reset.

Natural Runtime Startup Service

In the properties of the Natural Runtime startup service, the option Allow the service to interact with desktop is now enabled by default. As a consequence of this change, errors and messages generated by runtime processes that are started under the control of the startup service are now displayed on the user's desktop or on the console desktop of the Windows terminal server.

Natural Web I/O Interface Client

The Natural Web I/O Interface is now delivered in the Version 1.3.8.

Using the new session option Check for numeric input, you can now decide whether numeric input fields are to be validated or not. See Overview of Session Options in Configuring the Client which is part of the Natural Web I/O Interface documentation.

It is now possible to set the cursor (caret) to output fields. The Natural system variables *CURS-LINE, *CURS-COL and *CURSOR are now set correctly when placed on an output field. It is no longer required to enable caret browsing in the web browser.

With the XSLT files that are used for the conversion of the Natural Web I/O Interface screens from the internal XML format to HTML, the output fields are now generated as HTML read-only <input> elements instead of <span> elements.

It is now possible to use your own XSLT files with Internet Explorer and Firefox (Java EE only). These files must have special names. See XSLT Files in Configuring the Client which is part of the Natural Web I/O Interface documentation.
