PLI Mainframe is a procedural language for IBM mainframe business applications.

Optimized for batch processing, report generation, and transaction systems.

Supports structured programming, modular subroutines, and dataset I/O.

Widely used in banking, insurance, and government sectors.

Essential for maintaining legacy mainframe systems and high-reliability workloads.

Is PLI still used? -> Yes, mostly in legacy mainframe systems.

Can I integrate PLI with modern systems? -> Possible via connectors, MQ, or APIs.

Do I need mainframe access to learn PLI? -> Yes, practical learning requires mainframe or emulator.

Is PLI procedural or object-oriented? -> Procedural.

Are there modern alternatives? -> COBOL, Java on mainframe, or ETL/data tools.
