Colossal Cave Adventure in PL/I

...
I have successfully compiled this PL/I code.
However, I have not tried to run it yet.
Email me if you would like a copy of the source.

Interesting Link Error
|
| |
Actually, it is probably not that interesting, but I got this msg from LINK386: L1049 Too many segments.
No big deal. The cause seemed to be that I had a lot of EXT fields declared in the program. I will just put them into a structure rather than up the limit in the linker, I don't like the idea of a... more »

PL/I Video Tape

OK, because I really don't like trying to sell stuff on eBay I thought I
would offer this here first in case someone might be interested.
In cleaning out stuff from my computer collection I found a VCR Tape.

Worth a look.
One picture shows a man seated at a lights, dials and switches conrol
console.
Alonside is a frame like an elongated A frame blackboard.
This contains the main elecronics.
Hence the term "mainframe", maybe.

PL/I and some new Fortran features
|
| |
I try to transtalte to pl/i some Fortran module and have few questions:
1. Are PL/I PACKAGE similar to Fortran MODULE? What are differences?
2. As I see PL/I have no analog to SELECTED_REAL_KIND builtin. Is possible to translate INTEGER, PARAMETER :: kp = kind(1.) ! For single precision
INTEGER, PARAMETER :: kp = kind(1D0) ! For double precision and the default... more »

How efficient is seemingly very straight-forward and readable code?
|
| |
Hi all,
I recently had a look at the code generated by the INDEX builtin. In this particular program that uses it, I'm using it to add (or not) new 4-character+space items (items do not have a leading space) to a CHAR VAR, i.e.
if index(set, new || ' ') = 0 then
set ||= new || ' ';
The complete sets are later used to index arrays, i.e.... more »

New result - “Man or boy” test
|
| |
Now the best result for PL/I is:
“The limit for OS PL/I on a z/OS machine with 4Gb seems to be A=15, the limit for Enterprise PL/I on the same machine seems to be A=23, and the limit for PL/I for Windows on a 16Gb system seems to be A=26.”

PL/I Language Reference (IBM)
|
| |
...
...
The IBM standard is the current reference, not some manual that was
out-of-date
in the 1960s.
That manual was replaced with a new one back in the 1960s.
Since the original manual was issued, various new features were added
to the language,
including DO FOREVER, DO UNTIL, REORDER, not to mention the many new... more »
