PL/I for AIX

Compilation and optimization technology for IBM AIX and Power Systems

IBM® PL/I for AIX® is a software development environment for building PL/I applications on the IBM AIX operating system. The solution provides PL/I functions that allow you to use existing PL/I code while upgrading your applications with the newest web technologies.

PL/I for AIX lets you optimize and modernize business-critical PL/I applications.

Powerful development environment—maximizes the development of applications executing on IBM Power Systems™.
XML and Java interoperability—incorporates modern web-based technologies, such as XML and Java, into existing systems.
Debugging capabilities—provides standard debugging tools for optimized code.
Application compatibility—minimizes the risks of porting from other PL/I implementations.

Powerful development environment

Produces PL/I code that performs across all hardware levels of AIX including Power Systems.
Maximizes middleware by providing access to IBM DB2® and IBM TXSeries systems.
Integrates SQL, IBM CICS® and preprocessors, as well as the PL/I macro facility.

XML and Java interoperability

Allows PL/I and Java programs to interoperate based on the Java Native Interface.
Features a high-speed XML parser that allows programs to consume inbound XML messages and transform their contents into PL/I data structures.
Provides flexibility and control over the form of XML documents that are generated.

Debugging capabilities

Produces symbolic debugging information, which can be read by any standard AIX debugger.
Lets you debug applications that are written in C, C++, COBOL and PL/I from your workstation.
Allows you to monitor variables, registers, memory, call stacks and other elements.

Application compatibility

Provides source compatibility and data management utilities to reduce the barriers and minimize the risks of porting from other PL/I implementations.
Provides file and source compatibility with IBM Enterprise PL/I for z/OS®.
