PL/I as a ILE language! YES! I LOVE IT!!!! Sounds like a good COMMON requirement to me!!! :)

Jon, notice it wasn't me (this time) doing the original post. But it's one helluva good idea, IFF we can get a full PL/I implementation on i5/OS...and not that wimpy subset we're dealing with now...and yes, PL/I is still available and used on i5/OS...even in things IBM is selling... :)

Yo, Santa....bring back that list...

latter case, as far as I'm concerned, it would have been a
better use of resources for IBM to have turned OPM PL/I
into a fully-supported ILE-based full implementation of
the language, than to have done as they did, and stuck
bits and pieces of it into RPG and called it "/Free.")

James,

Absolutely - I'm still waiting for PL/I modules...
