Overview
PEngiCCL (Common Conditional Language) is a COBOL macro language
that is used to develop high level COBOL Functions and EXECs.
EXECs and Functions are embedded in the COBOL program as High Level Commands with
overriding parameters. The source is run through a translator that expands
code from the embedded EXECs and Functions, plus the native COBOL.
PEngiBAT, PEngiONL and PEngiEZT subsystems featured in this brochure
are written in the PEngiCCL Macro Language. The user can develop its own
PEngiCCL functions and EXECs for repetitive and tedious COBOL tasks. The user can
build a repository of PEngiCCL macros and combine them to represent
complete Systems.

Benefits of PEngiCCL
The code expanded by function and EXEC definitions is written and tested once. Thereafter it can be used by all programmers over and over without reconstructing
and testing the logic again.
Functions can be written for more difficult tasks by expert programmers,
increasing the productivity of those who are less skilled.
The program maintenance is minimal because the code expanded by a functions and EXECs
has to be changed only in one place.
The coding standards can be enforced by defining functions for the most
frequent tasks and then combining them into complete Objects or complete
Systems.
Functions and EXECs describe complete tasks, providing a comprehensive document of
your programs.
PEngiONL, PEngiBAT and PEngiEZT were developed with PEngiCCL Macro Language.
