RE: PL/I on V4R1?

["Walden Leverich" <walden@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Al,

You are correct. Synon is written in PL/I. And from what I understand they
(Synon) tried to write a new feature of the tool in C in version 5.0
(usages) and REWROTE the feature in PL/I in 5.1. The performance of the C
programs was horrible compared to what they could do in PL/I. I'm not saying
that PL/I is faster than C just reporting what happened.

Lastly, IBM has a financial interest in Synon.  I understand that Synon is
written in PL/1.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good byte.
