Warning: We strongly recommend that you only write source code with a Natural editor. Sources created beyond the control of Natural with a non-Natural editor cannot be read or interpreted by Natural. You can only use a non-Natural editor as an alternative to the Natural program editor if this editor is invoked with the Natural profile parameter EDITOR. This
parameter guarantees correct source-code interpretation. |
