Description
Natural (by Software AG)
Natural is a cross-platform language, mainly used in mainframe, but also Unix and Windows.
The following three areas would be a great start and would cover the biggest part of the language.
The list of statements is at this link:
https://documentation.softwareag.com/natmf/9.2.2/en/webhelp/natmf-webhelp/sm/sm-over.htm
Some of the statements will have a closing-statement as well. For example IF....END-IF, READ....END-READ, etc.
Then there is a list of system variables here:
https://documentation.softwareag.com/natmf/9.2.2/en/webhelp/natmf-webhelp/vari/vari-over.htm
And also a list of system functions here:
https://documentation.softwareag.com/natmf/9.2.2/en/webhelp/natmf-webhelp/func/func-over.htm
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Done means the requested Natural language constructs are covered in Prism; the issue does not name a file or test to run.
