PL/I compatibility considerations

Under OS PL/I, a slash (/) is not required after runtime options if the runtime options are the only ones passed. With Language Environment, however, a slash is mandatory. Therefore, you must check your invocation string to ensure the presence of a slash after the runtime options.

If a PL/I main program is compiled with the NOEXECOPS option, runtime options cannot be specified in the MVS™ PARM statement. If runtime options are specified, they are passed as program arguments. The effect of the NOEXECOPS option is described in Operating system and subsystem parameter list formats.
