Question Natural Forum?

Hi-

I'm new to Natural (v3.1) programming against ADABAS. I need to find a forum of like-minded developers who can help me find my way through the language.

Case in point: I can define "Logical" variables all over the place, assign explicit True or False to them, then use them. How do I assign the results of a calculation to one?

Instead of writing:

If #A = 3
#TF := True
Else
#TF := False
END-IF

I'd prefer to write something like:

#TF := (#A EQ 3)

An IF statement to assign a logical value is redundant, but I can't figure out how to "compute" the result of a logical expression and store it in a logical variable.

So far, this is the first forum I've found which came this close to my subject(!) I'll appreciate any advice you can give me for finding Natural/Adabas programming assistance on the web.

Thanks!

Thanks! I'll figure out how to subscribe (It's amazing to me how many gaps I find in stuff I thought I had already learned!) and get on with my projects.
