What is a .PLI file?
A .PLI file is a program source code file written in the PL/I programming language. PL/I, which stands for Programming Language One, was developed by IBM in the 1960s. It is primarily used in business, engineering, and scientific applications due to its robust features. PL/I is designed to be robust and machine-independent, which means it can run on different types of computer systems without needing to be rewritten. It supports structured programming, which helps in writing clear and well-organized code, and dynamic storage management, which allows efficient handling of memory. Additionally, PL/I includes several functions specifically for manipulating strings (sequences of characters), making certain programming tasks more straightforward.
Programs that can open .PLI files: 1. PL/I for GCC - This is a version of the PL/I compiler that works with the GCC (GNU Compiler Collection), allowing PL/I code to be compiled and run on systems that support GCC. 2. IBM PL/I for VSE/ESA - This is a compiler provided by IBM specifically designed for use on IBM's VSE/ESA operating system, enabling the development and execution of PL/I programs in that environment.
To open a .PLI file, you will need to have one of these programs installed on your computer. These programs read the PL/I code contained in the .PLI file and can compile it into a program that a computer can execute.
Verification
Our goal is to help people find the most up-to-date information about file extensions for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS. We researched over 10,000 file extensions and their respective programs that open those files. If you want to suggest edits or updates about .PLI file formats, example files, or programs that are compatible. Please contact us.
