Subject: PL/S ??
Does a copy of PL/S from IBM exist anywhere in the public domain?
Or would there be somewhere on a z/OS mainframe system I could find a
sample of the code?
This is what I found on Wikipedia:
PL/S, short for Programming Language/Systems, is a "machine-oriented"
programming language based on PL/I. It was developed by IBM
in the late
1960s as a replacement for assembly language on internal
software projects;
it included support for inline assembly and explicit control
over register usage.
Early projects using PL/S were the batch utility, IEHMOVE,
and the Time
Sharing Option of MVT, TSO.
THANX in advance,
Mark
From what I understand, you are more likely to get Top Secretinformation out of the CIA than get PL/S out of IBM. I don't even think
that there is the equivalent of a Language Reference manual around for
it that is not INTERNAL USE ONLY. It is one of IBM's super secret
languages. Most likely because IBM does not want to be "hobbled" by
backwards compatibility if some end user got ahold of it.
