When I key the command ‘scan’ on the command line while editing a program, I receive a popup, but instead of having input for: ‘scan value’, ‘replace value’, ‘replace with null value’, ‘absolut scan’, and ‘x - y range’ , Instead I receive a popup with input for :‘Find Value’, ‘From col’, ‘to col’, ‘From label’, and ‘To label’. What happened to the old scan? Documentation shows I should have the old scan, We are running Natural Version 6.1.1 on Suse Linux Enterprise edition, with Natural Security. Thanks in advance. ---

The SCAN function on Unix looks different to the mainframe. We recommend to use SCAN via SPoD. Offering a much better interface and integration with other Natural tools. Regards, Michael ---
