Advanced Topics in PL/I - Objectives

On successful completion of this course, the student, with the aid of the appropriate reference materials, should be able to:

  1. Use the string handling capabilities of PL/I.

  2. Code PL/I programs that CALL other programs, and code PL/I programs that are
      CALLed by other programs, passing arguments and receiving parameters.

  3. Use the Linkage Editor or Binderto combine PL/I programs, and to maintain existing
      PL/I load modules.

  4. Code routines to handle exceptional conditions instead of simply abending.

  5. Code PL/I programs that handle variable length records.

  6. Use the PL/I storage control facilities, including controlled and based variables.

  7. Use the locate mode I/O and list processing capabilities of PL/I.

  8. Use PL/I condition-handling routines to intercept errors.

  9. Use the PL/I pre-processor to generate code.

10. Use the facilities of PL/I stream I/O.

11. Request and understand how to use compile time and execution time PL/I options
       and facilities.
