I don't recall seeing anybody else mention it yet, so I'd like to draw your attention to IBM's announcement of Enterprise PL/I for z/OS Version 5.1:
https://www.ibm.com/common/ssi/rep_ca/5/897/ENUS216-185/ENUS216-185.PDF Version 5.1 is now generally available through Shopz (or through your regular software ordering system if you don't have Shopz in your country). The IBM program number is 5655-PL5. You'll need z/OS 2.1 or higher to run this new compiler (and any machine compatible with z/OS 2.1 or higher). You can now create 64-bit PL/I programs using the new LP(64) compiler option. Hurray! There are plenty of other new features, but...did I mention 64-bit? :-) If you have any experiences to share in this forum, that'd be great. Enjoy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples IT Architect Executive, Industry Solutions, IBM z Systems, AP/GCG/MEA E-Mail: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
