PH63279: AD BUILD CLIENT ISSUES WITH NATURAL CODE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• We are facing several issues when building Natural code:
  
  1. For us, decimal point is comma, as we use in Cobol.
  So, in Natural programs, the definition of decimal variables
  uses comma and it seems that the parser expects a point.
  
  2. Some programs have the clause PASSWD= with the password for
  access the database.
  We notice that the parser accuses error in the immediate
  following command.
  
  3. Other situations:
  3.a. END_DEFINE' when encountering token: / or: /'
  3.b. parse error when encountering token: NOT or: NOT'
  3.c. parse error, expecting `SYM_END_LOOPS' or
   `END_READ' when encountering token: FILE or: FILE'
  3.d. parse error, expecting `SPACE' when encountering token:
  COMPRESS or: COMPRESS'
  3.e. parse error when encountering token: SYM_ASSIGN_STATE_START
  or: SYM_ASSIGN_STATE_START'
  3.f. parse error when encountering token: RESET or: RESET'
  3.g. parse error when encountering token: GET or: GET'
  3.h. parse error, expecting `$' when encountering token: LS or:
  LS'
  3.i. parse error when encountering token: MOVE or: MOVE'
