On successful completion of this course, the student, with the aid of the appropriate reference materials, should be able to:

1. Use the string handling capabilities of PL/I
2. Code PL/I programs that CALL other programs, and code PL/I programs that are CALLed by other programs, passing arguments and receiving parameters
3. Use the Linkage Editor or Binder to combine PL/I programs, and to maintain existing PL/I load modules
4. Code routines to handle exceptional conditions instead of simply abending
5. Code PL/I programs that handle variable length records
6. Use the PL/I storage control facilities, including controlled and based variables
7. Use the locate mode I/O and list processing capabilities of PL/I
8. Use PL/I condition-handling routines to intercept errors
9. Use the PL/I pre-processor to generate code
10. Use the facilities of PL/I stream I/O
11. Request and understand how to use compile time and execution time PL/I options and facilities
12. Use multi-threading for asynchronous execution of subroutines
