DATES:

1. Program Structure
   • Compile and execute a simple program.
   • Use the PUT statement to display data.
   • Declare datatypes using the Picture attribute.
   • Compile and execute the program provided by the instructor.
2. Datatypes
   • Create a character string variable that contains your name and a fixed binary file which contains your age in years.
   • 1- Print the two fields using PUT LIST, PUT DATA, and PUT EDIT.
   • 2- Initialize the data items in a supplied table into variables that contain the PICTURE attribute.
   • 3- Browse the results.
3. Preprocessing
   • Include a set of declaration from an INCLUDE library supplied by the instructor.
4. Procedure Blocks
   • Determine the beginning and end of a routine.
   • Code a main procedure with a simple DO group and a procedure with no parameters.
5. Functions
   • Code a function that accepts two parameters, performs a mathematical computation of the passed values and returns a solution.
6. Assignment and Arithmetic Statements
   • Perform mathematical calculations.
   • Given the base and height of a triangle, write a PL/1 program which determines the area of a triangle.
   • Initialize the base and height variables with values.
7. Conditional Statements
   • Code nested IF statements to determine if a value is valid; depending on the validity of the value, a switch will be set.
8. Flow of Control Statements
   • Code a DO WHILE statement and IF/DO statement.
   • Print a multiplication table; for example the five table; then print a string of data, one character on a line.
9. Basic I/O
   • Read a set of grades and calculate the lowest, highest, and mean grades.
   • 1- Use the GET LIST command for reading data.
   • 2- Calculate values using the Assignment statement.
   • 3- Use conditional expressions for determining the highest and lowest value.
   • 4- Perform looping.
   • 5- Read in a list of grades using the GET LIST command; there will be one grade on a line.
   • 6- The last value in the input stream is a -1, which indicates the end of the list.
   • 7- Display each grade using the PUT LIST command.
   • 8- After all the grades are listed, display the number of grades, the lowest grade, the highest grade, and the mean grade.
