Program to Detect MOVEs of Numeric Fields to Alpha Fields in NATURAL Programs

Description

When NATURAL v2.2.x code contains a numerical field holding the value '02' (xF0F2), it is moved into an alpha field; the alpha field holds the value '2' (xF240) instead of '02' (xF0F2).

A NATURAL v2.3 program reads NATURAL v2.2.x object code and detects MOVE instructions of numeric format source fields to target fields whose format is alphabetic.

Benefits

• Detects and reports erroneous MOVE statements

Features

• Reads NATURAL v2.2.x object code rather than source code
• Written and executed in NATURAL v2.3 environment

Market Potential/Applications

Useful for clients of SAGA Software, INC., manufacturer and provider of the NATURAL programming language, to read their NATURAL v2.2.x object code for such error statements
