The language was extended by the package concept, abstract data types, attributes to communicate with C programs and more than a hundred BUILTIN functions.The book provides the basis for certification as an "IBM Certified PL/I Programmer/Developer".

Suitable for self-study, it introduces all areas of the language.

It is a useful source of ideas and information for those programmers who already have a certain level of experience as well as those who only want to discover the variety of new language features.
