NATdoc duplicates header content

Hi! I’m currently experiencing some troubles with the NATdoc tool usage. I’m running NaturalONE v9.3.3. As shown in the image, the text in the source code header is duplicating inside every LDA definition: This is just a view of the Preview panel inside the IDE, but when I try to generate the Docs using the provided wizard, they look just the same. I’ve been trying some things around and this is…

IO execution not allowed at session initialization

The problem was that we not defined properly the Natural Security for the CICS started task.

IO execution not allowed at session initialization

The Idea is good, but the problem is that if I start the server without CICS TP, so I start the NDV server together with BATCH then this logon problem not exist at all.

IO execution not allowed at session initialization

Do you have Natural Security? It’s liklely something is running at startup that is trying to do I/O - PRINT, INPUT,WRITE,DISPLAY,etc. Check the user and library profiles to see what the startup program is set to.

Z/OS call from C program to ADABAS for L1 command fails on the first run, but runs on the second

I can’t run that command myself but will ask the customer to do that. I also wasn’t sure that errno 47 is same as Adarsp 47. Could you, please, elaborate what difference it makes based on the output from DUQA ?

Let’s Talk About JOPAZ: Your Questions, Our Answers

Thank you Nataliya for your comment. Yes, this is exactly the idea and the core values of the product. Freeing up capacity on GP to do more and achieving results with an approach that does not put your operations at risk.

Let’s Talk About JOPAZ: Your Questions, Our Answers

This is a really helpful overview. The fact that JOPAZ can shift COBOL workloads to zIIP processors without requiring source code changes makes it especially interesting for organizations looking to improve efficiency without taking on major modernization risks. The Proof of Value approach also seems like a practical way to measure real benefits before making a larger commitment.

Let’s Talk About JOPAZ: Your Questions, Our Answers

Interesting overview, sounds like a pretty smart way to squeeze more efficiency out of existing COBOL workloads without forcing a full rewrite.

Can *OCCURRENCE(#X-ARRAY) define the X-ARRAY memory space in execution time?

Nice solution. Using *OCCURRENCE( #X-ARRAY ) makes the loop more flexible and avoids hardcoding the array size.

Register here >> Most mainframe optimization solutions force organizations to choose between exploding costs and high-risk rewrites. But there is a third option. What to expect in this webinar: Reduce COBOL workloads by an average of 80 % through intelligent use of existing resources. No code rewrites, no data migration – full preservation of existing application logic and data structures. Shorter…

Anybody experiencing NAT3151 frquently?

Can *OCCURRENCE(#X-ARRAY) define the X-ARRAY memory space in execution time?

For better performance you should change the code a little. Inside the loop *OCC will be executed each time, which is a waste of time, unless you change the size of #X-ARRAY . Try: #IX := *OCC( #X-ARRAY ) FOR #J 1 #IX

Future support for NaturalONE on AlmaLinux

it’s not a breach, we can’t guarantee that it will work.

Running NaturalONE on non-supported Linux distributions: Licensing and Compatibility

Hi @ClaudioNeiva , welcome to TECH Community and thank you for your question. I believe that the question is being discussed in this topic: Future support for NaturalONE on AlmaLinux Does anyone know if Software AG has plans to officially support NaturalONE on AlmaLinux? Since AlmaLinux is 100% binary compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), it would be a great alternative for many users.…

Future support for NaturalONE on AlmaLinux

Thank you very much for your reply. Would using AlmaLinux be a breach of contract, or would the only problem be that we wouldn’t have support from Software Ag in case of problems with AlmaLinux?

Future support for NaturalONE on AlmaLinux

Hello Claudio, Thank you for your post, Software AG has cross product platform support and we align among all of our products to have a common platform support. We do Support RHEL and SUSE (specific version per product could be fonud in Empower.softwareag.com , AlmaLinux is not in our roadmap. Since it is based on RHEL it might work.

Future support for NaturalONE on AlmaLinux

Running NaturalONE on non-supported Linux distributions: Licensing and Compatibility

Hi everyone, I would like to know if it is technically possible to run NaturalONE on Linux distributions other than SUSE and Red Hat. Additionally, if it does work on another distro, would this violate the Software AG End User License Agreement (EULA), or is it simply a matter of it being an ‘unsupported’ environment?

[Need Your Help] Error in the sample Travel Approval Application

Hi Jun, Thanks for the screenshots. It looks correct, I cannot see anything wrong. Still the Natural program must have problems reading this file in your environment. I currently don’t know why. Traces would show more information, but this would be some effort also for you. Best Regards, Christine
