We plan to deliver Unicode functionality with Natural 4.2 on mainframes (not Natural 5 as mentioned) by the end of March 2006. At the same date we provide Unicode functionality on Windows and Unix as well.

Hello,  
Recently I tried to implement the Natural UNICODE on a Natural for VSAM stand alone environment and I had some rare errors that made me to inactive that options. One of them was the variable name when it has the # character no matter where it placed.  
Do you any idea that clear me up that scenario.

Regards
