The classic textbook by Eberhard Sturm shows as the only up-to-date PL/I book currently available in English the range of the new PL/I on the computer platforms OS/2, Windows, AIX and z/OS (basis of the book is the new PL/I Compiler from IBM). The language was extended by the package concept, abstract data types, attributes to communicate with C programs and more than a hundred BUILTIN functions.This book claims to be a basis for certification as an "IBM Certified PL/I Programmer/Developer". So in the 7th edition, the section on floating-point arithmetic has been rewritten in large parts (DECIMAL FLOAT in hardware).The book is suitable for self-study and introduces to all areas of the language. It is also a useful source of ideas and information for those programmers who already have a certain level of experience or who only want to know the many new language features.
