Hi,  
can anyone give me a state on Natural type FUNCTION on mainframe?  
Sure I know about the obvious features using them. But what about performance, problems, dangers, unknown or strange errors and all these?  
I am in the humble position to allow or disallow the usage of them. So I would like to knwo what’s coming up … :?

Thank’s for contributions.  
He.

I think many of the questions you have have been hashed out there. I don’t think you would see any performance issues in using them.
