Good luck, it should be possible to make this work.
See . This is a good brief introduction to PL/I and how to run it on MTS. It is brief but contains a link to MTS Volume 7 which goes into detail about PL/I in MTS. There are links to Volume 7 in both Bitsavers and Deep Blue on the page at
I just cooked up the code you can see at as an exercise in learning PL/I (using the (F) compiler, which is the one available in MTS, as far as I understand).
The question I have is how would you structure your code library in MTS and what would be the necessary incantations to compile and run the test program.
Any comment on the code and any help for MTS would be appreciated.
Meanwhile, here is a tantalizing, at least for some, screenshot.
