5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent manual and tutorial for PL/I programming,
By A Customer
This review is from: PL/I Structured Programming (Paperback)
I needed a reference manual for PL/I and decided to go for this book. It is very good if you are new to the language or are trying to remember what a particular function does. It even has separate sections at the back of the book for ASCII and EBCDIC tables, how the different PL/I data formats are stored in records, and a good summary at the back showing which functions are supported by the various PL/I compilers and subsets. It is not a the cheapest (hardback) book on PL/I but is well worth the investment.

This is an excellent training and reference manual.,
By A Customer
This review is from: PL/I Structured Programming (Paperback)
This book is utilized as a standard reference guide within our PL/I programming group. It doubles as a training reference for new PL/I programmers and as a general desk reference for programmers with more advanced PL/I programming skills. The overall content is well organized and easy to use.

This is the one for PL/I,
By
This review is from: PL/I Structured Programming (Paperback)
Robin Vowel's book compliments Hughe's book for a variety of algorithms and none-MVS platforms (emphasizing certain PL/I facilities well).
NB. Caution with inexpensive used copies. They may not be the latest edtion. Previous editions are more verbose.
