Optimize and modernize PL/I applications on IBM z/OS systems
IBM® Enterprise PL/I for z/OS® is a software development environment for building and maintaining PL/I applications on IBM z/OS operating systems. The enterprise solution allows you to incorporate modern web technology, such as web services, XML and Java®, into your existing PL/I applications.
Enterprise PL/I for z/OS allows you to capitalize on existing IT investments while modernizing your infrastructure.
- Powerful development environment—provides processing and debugging tools to upgrade and modernize your PL/I applications in z/OS.
- Web interoperability—integrates with web-based technologies such as web services, XML parsers and Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE).
- Middleware support—maximizes middleware with built-in support for IBM DB2®, IBM CICS® and IBM IMS™ systems.
- Integration and collaboration tools—integrates with other environments to optimize development and collaboration.
Powerful development environment
- Supports the IBM zEnterprise™ 196 (z196) mainframe.
- Uses the UNROLL compiler option, and changes to inline code generation to improve application performance.
- Supports processing of UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32 character encoding, allowing you to handle data generated in any code page.
- Supports IBM Debug Tool for z/OS, a source-level tool that allows you to examine, monitor and control the execution of C, C++, COBOL and PL/I programs.
- Provides compatibility with previous versions of PL/I compilers and ongoing enhancements.
Web interoperability
- Allows PL/I transactions to process inbound and outbound XML data within applications.
- Supports XML attributes and omission of null values for improved web interoperability.
- Supports the IEEE decimal floating point standard, which allows the compiler to receive, manipulate and send Java data without the need for translation.
Middleware support
- Provides integrated SQL and CICS preprocessors to enhance the design of applications in a CICS or IBM DB2® environment.
- Handles exec SQL statements in the same way as any macro facility, eliminating the need for precompiling.
Integration and collaboration tools
- Integrates with the application development environment (IDE) delivered with IBM Rational® Developer for IBM System z®.
- Integrates with IBM Rational Team Concert™ collaboration tools and IBM Problem Determination Tools for z/OS.
