Add new RULES option for IBM2674I message, similar to RULES([NO]PADDING)

Please add a new RULES option like [NO]UDSALIGN, similar to RULES([NO]PADDING), to control the IBM2674I message about the alignment of user defined structures: Under NOUDSALGIN, no IBM2674I message will be produced. Under UDSALIGN, IBM2674I messag...

Add environment variable or equivalent, dummy DD (?), such that a PLIDUMP call can check the existence of the envvar and call Fault Analyzer as part of its processing.

In much earlier versions of Fault Analyzer a zap was provided to the PLIDUMP code such that IDISNAP (Fault Analyzers dynamic call interface) could be invoked as part of a PLIDUMP call, without having to modify the application code. This is no long...

PL/I compiler for Linux (or Windows)

Besides z/OS and AIX the PL/I compiler was also available for Windows several years ago. This allowed us to use nearly the same source on z/OS and on Windows. We used the PL/I preprocessor to adapt the source for both systems. Instead of Windows a...

Check/Reject when a variable A based on a pointer initialized with the addr of a variable B is bigger than B

- a PLI V5.2 program runs smoothly but abends with S0C4 when recompiled in PLI V6.1- on analysis, the program has a poor writing, it uses a larger redefined area than the original area. This original area is used as I/O area. Presently, the compil...

SYSDEBUG to fully support OPT(2) or OPT(3)

When the PL/I compiler is performing optimization, it has the ability to move statements in the resulting executable. When this happens, the backwards traceability to the actual written source statement is lost. The information is avaiable in the ...
