REXX and Natural

, ,
1

Good day,

May I ask if there is a process where rexx code can be automated to update the change history in a natural program.
Looking at REXX code to have a parameter which has the natural program name and where from REXX we can update the contents
of a natural program directly eg. change history.

Thanks.

This is possible, but not recommended. Someone (management, security department, …) might think you are trying to conceal code changes.

Natural’s Application Programming Interface offers a couple of ways to modify source code. Take a look in the SYSEXT library.

Also, the SCAN command might do the trick.
