A friend called Rene Jansen tried the compiler in May 2017
on modern z/OS and MacOS, look here:

it worked without problems; only for MacOS we had to make a minor
change, because colons in environment variable names are not allowed.
I would expect that of any UNIX-like system: z/OS, MacOS, Linux,
Solaris, ...
maybe; we changed it globally, so that for all systems - including
Windows and OS/2 -
the environment variable is built like this: DD_ddname (where ddname is
the logical
filename from the Pascal program)
I used the following syntax
set DD:INPFILE = c:\work\pascal\work\inpfile.dat
I wwouldn't expect those backslashes to work on a UNIX-like system, either.

of course; the syntax to set the environment variable AND the syntax of
the file names
is different on the different platforms. For z/OS, there is no need to
assign filenames this
way; you do it by using DD statements in the JCL. With CMS, you use
FILEDEF statements.
In both cases, the Pascal filenames are normal DD names; the Pascal
runtime uses OS file I/O
(QSAM); that is: DCBs etc.
BTW: the Pascal runtime supports opening PO members on MVS, when the
name of the
member to be opened is known at runtime only; there is a procedure
ASSIGNMEM to
assign a member name to a file before RESET or REWRITE. Look here for
more information:
