SYSEXV | Provides examples of the new features of the current Natural versions. |
SYSMAIN | Performs object operations in Natural such as copy, move and delete. |
SYSNCP | Defines command-driven navigation systems for Natural applications. |
SYSPARM | Creates and maintains Natural parameter profiles. |
SYSRDC | Enables a Natural application to record monitoring and accounting data on the processing flow. |
