Hi Murray,

Sorry to take so long to reply to your message, but my computer [and
other posessions] spent a long time arriving here in England. I am
replying here on FidoNet because other users of PL/I for OS/2 might be
interested.

The following are the lines from my CONFIG.SYS that install the PL/I
compiler options that I use as my defaults.

___----------------------------------------------------------------------

 REM Set PL/I default compilation options
 SET IBM.OPTIONS=LANGLVL(SAA2 OS2) LIMITS(EXTNAME(31) FIXEDDEC(31)) SYSTEM(OS2 S486)
 S X A(S) NOT('+') MAR(2 80) F(I) OP INCLUDE(EXT('CV2' 'CPY' 'INC' 'MAC')) EXIT
 SET IBM.PPMACRO=FIXED(BINARY) SOURCE
 SET IBM.SOURCE=.;D:\PLIPROGS
 SET
IBM.SYSLIB=.;D:\PLIPROGS\INCLUDE;G:\PLITK\NEWCPY;G:\PLITK\INCLUDE;G:\IBMPLI\INCLUDE
 SET IBM.VPLI=G:\PLITK
 SET CEE.OPTIONS=HEAP(1M,64K),THREADSTACK(256K)
 REM End of PL/I default compilation options

___----------------------------------------------------------------------

The NOT() option specifies the EBCDIC 'not' sign, which might not
survive echo mail since it is high ASCII. I use Ctl+6 in EPM to type it
into a program.

You might find that the IBM.SYSLIB specification cures the problem
with include files, since it uses the files supplied with the PL/I
Toolkit, rather than the ones supplied with the compiler. Also ensure
that you have CSD #4, or later, applied.

Regards

Dave
