Hi,

Am new to PL/1.Am just learning. I want a PL/1 program to mirror a sentence.

Input:

GOD IS LOVE.

Output should be:

.EVOL SI DOG

I have tried using the SUBSTR and ARRAY.I got half of the output.But, while writing the OUTPUT using PUT each character is printing seperately.
Kindly help me in this.
Thanks in advance

priyam,

1. click on "Quick manuals" on top of this page
2. click on "Enterprise PL/I Language Reference" link under PLI
3. scroll to section 19.199 and read about "Reverse"

Hope this helps...

Cheers

Kolusu

However, you need the version 3 compiler. If you are using version 2 then you can use an array but better is to use TRANSLATE (for short strings anyway). Also, as you found, PUT skips to next line after printing. You can concatenate (||) variables in one PUT statement : PUT SKIP LIST(var1||var2||); etc.
