Recently we introduced PL/I Workstation/2 at COMDEX. PL/I Workstation/2, for
individual users, allows you to produce 32-bit OS/2 applications using the
outstanding features provided by the PL/I Language. These features include:
- String handling for business applications
- Floating point and complex arithmetic for engineering applications
- Pointer arithmetic and bit manipulation for systems programming
- Advanced error handling facility to catch and allow recovery from
systems errors as well as common programming errors, such as
subscripts or substrings that are out of range
PL/I Workstation/2 includes a number of usability features to aid in the
development of workstation applications. They include:
- Support for WorkFrame/2, a compile-edit shell with an auto-make facility
- Automatic support for directing input and output to and from Presentation
Manager windows
- The ability to tailor the product to fit your needs through compiler
options and a compiler user exit
- Support for all 32-bit interprocedure calling conventions which allows
PL/I programs to call C routines or operating system API's
The product will be available in December for $495. It includes the compiler
and runtime on diskette along with a CD-ROM containing the Language Reference
Manual, Programming Guide, and Runtime Error Messages. Hard copies of the
manuals are available for an additional $50. Limited service and support will
be provided through CompuServe and a postal address.
PL/I Package/2 continues to be available and is aimed at supporting our
Enterprise customers. It includes the following additional features which
are not available in PL/I Workstation/2:
- Flagging the use of features outside the SAA language definition
- Support for the DDM access method (similar to VSAM)
- A 60-day trial period
- Full IBM Service and Support
For more information or to place an order call 1-800-IBM-4STL.
