program for how to generate prime numbers between 1 to 100 in pl1?

[enrico-sorichetti]

where do You have problems...
the logic or the code ?

please remember, this is a help forum,
we will help, but will not do the work for You.

start by stages ...

a loop to print all the numbers fro 1 to 100
a loop to print all the even numbers
a loop to print all the odd numbers

once You have mastered the general PL/I (*) syntax and principal constructs
then You might start to worry about the primality test ...

the IBM manuals refer to it as PL/I not PL/1

You might also look here for the relevant PL/I manuals

program for how to generate prime numbers between 1 to 100 in pl1?

Assuming that you do not intent to purchase such a program(I would charge Rs. 40,000 for it), I would recommend implementing the sieve of Erastosthenes.

[NicC]

From a PL/1 manual

Therefore, NPL was renamed to Programming Language One (PL/I).

therefor it can be written as PL/1 - and always has been (within IBM UK at least) just that 1 in some fonts can look the same as I.

Now, now: whether 'tis written "I", "1", or "一", the important thing is the ability to program in it...an ability that Srinivas-kun has yet to evince.

I would suggest also looking here for some interesting PL/I resources and discussions

Please do not point anyone to this site that serves just one purpose, the promotion of Robin Vowels, someone who never makes any mistakes and is always right about everything PL/I, even if he is totally wrong. The guy is also the maintainer of the FAQ of comp.lang.pl1, a FAQ that has been splattered with dead links for the past few years.

If the TS really wants to see PL/I samples, Rosetta Code would be infinitesimally better.

[enrico-sorichetti]

Thank You, Robert ,
I had forgot Rosetta stuff

I posted it because of the additional links provided.
( too lazy to cut and paste them myself and go thru the whole list to pick the good ones and the bad ones )
