Natural Engineer version 4.3.1.1 now offers support for Natural’s remote development environment better known as "Single Point of Development " (SPoD).

In addition to SPoD’s remote development facilities, Natural Engineer complements Natural Studio with powerful functions for fast and reliable analysis and maintenance of your Natural applications. If Natural source code is being processed, it is always accessed from the remote system file on the mainframe and can be maintained in the local Natural Engineer maintenance environment.

This means that all graphical capabilities, such as structure diagrams and application structures, are available while your applications still reside on the mainframe. Also, any modification you perform with Natural Engineer as a result of an impact analysis is applied directly to your source code on the mainframe.

Prerequisites for this new support are
