Here, lemme see if I can help more directly... Hopefully, this will help move this PL/I stuff thread off the book recommendation thread. If not, someone with more List knowhow, please help.

In line with the new subject,  What, if any, features does PL/I have that are not realized in a modern language?

Thanks,

Will
