Using the Visual Age compiler

With the z/OS® operating system, the Visual Age PL/I compiler replaces all the previous PL/I compilers. Therefore, if you use this compiler, you need to customize the samples in PL/I as follows:
  1. Replace the PL/I compiler invocation statement:
    EXEC PGM=IEL0AA
    with:
    EXEC PGM=IBMZPLI
  2. Link into a PDS/E data set for SYSLMOD or include a pre-link edit step in the JCL.
As an example, here is the JCL for the EQQPIFJV sample using the Visual Age PL/I compiler:
//EQQPIFJV JOB MSGCLASS=N, ............                  
//PLI1     EXEC PGM=IBMZPLI,REGION=1024K,                
//         PARM='OBJECT,OPTIONS'                         
//STEPLIB DD DSN=IBMZ.V2R2M1.SIBMZCMP,DISP=SHR           
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*                                  
//SYSLIN   DD  UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(2,1)),DISP=(,PASS),
//    DSN=&&OBJ1                                         
//SYSUT1   DD  UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(3,3))
