Since Natural Version 9.1, the following Natural editors have been disabled (deactivated) by default:
Program editor
Data area editor
Map editor
This change does not affect the following:
DDM editor (SYSDDM utility)
Software AG Editor
Batch mode processing (batch programs will run as usual)
APIs and user exits that access editor interfaces
You can use the TECH
system command (or
corresponding API USR2026N
) and the
*EDITOR
system
variable to find out whether Natural editors are disabled in the current
Natural environment.
With Natural version 9 on Mainframe, Unix and Linux, NaturalONE and the Natural Development Server are integrated into Natural. The Natural editors (program editor, data area editor and map editor) are disabled. As NaturalONE and Natural Development Server licenses are integrated with Natural, they can be activated with the Natural (NAT) license key. This does not apply to Natural for Windows.
If Natural editors are disabled in the current Natural environment, the editor-related functions of the following commands and features are no longer supported and a corresponding error message is returned when you request an edit function:
EDIT
system command,
LIST
system command,
SCAN
system command,
SYSEXT utility.
