SDPL is a pre-processor which accepts an SDPL program (.SDM
extension) and produces a DPL program (.DMC extension) and a
listing file (.LST extension). SDPL is a superset of both
System 1022's DPL, and the "report writer" of 1022. It
contains all the capabilities of ordinary 1022 DPL and
report writer.
Structured DPL (SDPL) provides the DPL programmer with a
highly structured language capable of producing efficient
DPL programs. SDPL has the following features:
1. eliminates the need for GOTO's and labels
2. allows compound conditionals, e.g., IF X EQ 1 AND Y
EQ 2
3. fosters good programming techniques
4. Supports common structured programming constructs
such as UNTIL, WHILE, CASES etc.
