The PL/S Programming Language And Compiler - M238

[@w2tty]

This is so awesome! I joined IBM in 1983 and the first thing they did was teach me PL/AS (a descendant of PL/S).

how long, nice to see you here again. A hug from Brazil.

There is also an instructional dialect of PL/I called PL/C! So many dialects down the PL rabbit hole.

[@trs80model14]

Any chance of pl/s ever finding its way onto the web for us to enjoy?

[@moshixmainframechannel]

I doubt it

[@Stosszahlansatz]

The program works, but the final return code is RC=3896. Why is that? Do you have to set the final return code in the program? Also, when you open the data sets, you code SYSIN and SYSPRINT in SETS, but for the close, you just code SYSPRINT, why? René

[@moshixmainframechannel]

Because I am not setting the R15 to 0.

[@moshixmainframechannel]

And I don’t close sysin because I forgot

[@moshixmainframechannel]

This was originally a live stream and so in the heat of the moment some stuff is not perfect. Like not closing sysin

[@Stosszahlansatz]

@@moshixmainframechannel That's fine. I was just curious. 🙂
