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

Background 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).

Invention Description 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
