OVERVIEW DESCRIPTION
PL/I for OS/2 provides the PL/I programmer with 32-bit support
on the OS/2 operating system. In addition, a PL/I application
development environment is provided that is designed especially to
handle mission critical, line-of-business applications through visual
programming and construction-from-components technologies. PL/I for
OS/2 is offered in three options -- a Personal Edition, a
DATA BASE : ALET PAGE: 2
Professional Edition, and a Toolkit.
IBM PL/I FOR OS/2 PERSONAL EDITION: PL/I for OS/2 Personal Edition
was designed for small software development companies, consultants,
and students. The Personal Edition contains a full 32-bit compiler,
run-time library, and graphical, interactive debugging facility that
supports new PL/I application development on stand-alone PCs or small
LANs.
IBM PL/I FOR OS/2 PROFESSIONAL EDITION: PL/I for OS/2 Professional
Edition includes all of the features of the Personal Edition, plus
additional function that enhances compatibility with the mainframe
compiler. Developers can build and test host-based VSAM, DB2 (R),
CICS (TM), and IMS (TM) applications, or they can take advantage of
PL/I for OS/2 (in combination with DB2/2 (TM), CICS OS/2 (TM), and
IMS Client Server/2 (TM)) to create client/server applications that
integrate with existing mainframe programs.
IBM PL/I FOR OS/2 TOOLKIT: PL/I for OS/2 Toolkit helps you
streamline the programming process, offering a development
environment for PL/I for OS/2 Presentation Manager (R) (PM)
applications. The Toolkit is a collection of tools designed to
complement either the Professional or Personal Edition of PL/I for
OS/2. The Toolkit includes a visual prototyping tool and code
generator that can help you develop graphical user interfaces, a
programming aid designed to help you convert C header files to PL/I
header files, and the OS/2 Developer's Toolkit.
Refer to Software Announcement 294-338, dated May 24, 1994,
for additional details on PL/I for OS/2 Version 1.
PRODUCT POSITIONING
As a PL/I customer, if you thought you would need to look to
other languages as your only option in creating powerful
client/server applications, or moving to emerging technologies, be
assured there is another option. You can remain with PL/I and still
take advantage of these new technologies. IBM's PL/I family of
products allows you to take advantage of the existing skill in your
organization, preserve the valuable program base and subsystem
linkages you built, and still move aggressively to utilize
workstations in mission critical applications. Application
development on new platforms and/or with emerging technologies can
begin in a gradual manner without the need to retrain programmers and
undertake a new language.
IBM's PL/I family of products provides a consistent PL/I
across multiple platforms. The IBM PL/I offerings now reach across
workstation and host environments (OS/2, AIX (R), MVS, VM, AS/400
(R), and VSE) -- with consistent language implementation and
optimized run-time performance for the target platform -- to support
dedicated or client/server applications. These environments all have
access to data through VSAM, DB2, IMS, and CICS, where present.
For native host development, you will be able to use IBM PL/I
for MVS & VM with IBM Language Environment (R) for MVS & VM, or IBM
PL/I for VSE with IBM Language Environment for VSE, to support
creation of host applications. Language Environment provides a
common run-time environment for language products that conform to its
architecture (that is, IBM PL/I for MVS & VM, IBM PL/I for VSE, IBM
DATA BASE : ALET PAGE: 3
COBOL for MVS & VM, IBM COBOL for VSE, AD/Cycle (R) C/370 (TM), and
IBM C/C++ for MVS/ESA (TM)). Some advantages of PL/I with Language
Environment include flexible run-time options, faster and easier
interlanguage communication (ILC) support, dynamic ILC for all
systems and subsystems, and a common condition handling architecture.
These functions and, in particular, the ILC support provided by
Language Environment, allow host PL/I programmers to reuse code. By
conforming to Language Environment, PL/I for MVS & VM and PL/I for
VSE can minimize new development and make it easier to share code
between applications. This reduces the cost of PL/I application
development, test, and maintenance while helping to improve code
quality.
IBM PL/I for OS/2 provides the premier PL/I product on the
OS/2 platform for the creation of mission critical applications. The
workstation development environment provides an integrated set of
tool functions and a visual builder supporting development of
applications targeted for running on various platforms. WorkFrame/2
is used as an integration point for the OS/2 development environment
providing a flexible and powerful development system that exploits
the OS/2 Workplace Shell (R). IBM PL/I for OS/2, when used with IBM's
TeamConnection, provides a powerful, comprehensive team development
environment. IBM PL/I for OS/2 works with TeamConnection to store
PL/I source and executable files and to build PL/I applications.
TeamConnection provides version control and change management.
IBM PL/I Set for AIX supports both client and server
application development on AIX, providing an integrated set of tools.
This includes a customizable editor and debugger. The new AIX PL/I
environment is consistent and compatible with the OS/2 environment
and is integrated to the common desktop environment (CDE) on AIX.
IBM PL/I for OS/2 and IBM PL/I Set for AIX are excellent
choices for creating client/server applications. They also provide a
means for moving development work to the workstation for applications
targeted to run on the host system. Testing can be done on the
workstation with only the final system testing being done on the
actual target (host in this case) system. IBM's approach, with the
final edit, compile and debug capability on the host, allows this
final testing to take place in a powerful and supported environment.
IBM PL/I for OS/2 and IBM PL/I Set for AIX implement this paradigm by
providing function that makes it easy to move programs between the
workstation and the host.
