You can do this in batch by placing the SCAN output into a file and then process the file’s contents in a later job step.
As an alternative, you could use the user API USR1057N from library SYSEXT to read a program’s source into an array and then do the scanning by yourself in the calling Natural program, e.g. by means of using EXAMINE.

Sorry, I don’t have any comparisons available.
