Hi, Natural code is portable across platforms so no problems there. You will need Entire Net-Work to transport the Adabas commands between machines/platforms. Obviously adding the extra layer will degrade performance. Adabas V2 really is ancient history. Software AG is is normally very good maintaining backwards compatibility but there are limits. 🙂 ---
