Command processors are used to define command-driven navigation systems for Natural applications as an alternative to navigating through hierarchies of menus.
The Natural command processor (NCP) consists of two components:
maintenance and runtime. The
SYSNCP
utility is the maintenance part which comprises all facilities used
to define command processor sources and control the navigation within an
application. The PROCESS
COMMAND
statement (see the
Statements documentation) is the runtime part used to
invoke Natural programs.
