Oh, I knew I was right, you're getting this all from Wikipedia. It would
have been a lot better if you had just asked instead of stating incorrect
things as if you knew they were facts.

I have never heard of PLZ/SYS, so I have nothing to say on that.

I'm familiar with PL/I, it's a very nice HLL that should have been more
successful. No IBM version of PL/I (and I believe only IBM ever sold a PL/I
capable of running on a mainframe) can be used for writing systems software.

AFAIK, PL/M *was* a derivative of PL/I that was created (I think) by Digital
Research and used to write much of their DOS code. Again, it was not a
mainframe language and was not an assembly language although it could be
used, and was, to write system code, since that's what they designed it
for. But it doesn't run on a mainframe and can't be used to write systems
software on mainframes, it's strictly a PC language.

I can tell you PL/S, PL/AS, and PL/X are all proprietary, high level
assemblers targeting the IBM mainframe. They do have similarities to PL/I
because they're all more or less ALGOL-derived languages with control
structures and declarations similar to ALGOL. That's where the similarity
ends. PL/X and predecessors don't have a runtime, because they translate
pretty much directly to assembler and they have critical features for
writing system code that HLLs don't, like being able to manipulate registers
and other low level areas, and issue system service requests. All the system
services requests are actually dual-language PL/AS / PL/X and assembler.
This wasn't worth mentioning before because these languages don't go outside
IBM, but since we are discussing it the truth is all the systems services
macros can be invoked from either assembler or PL/X. Another point where the
wikipedia article is wrong (I hadn't looked at it until now) is about not
being able to modify the OS because of not having access to PL/S. PL/S and
assembler coexist without effort, there is no problem to extend one from the
other and indeed many people did all kinds of system modifications in
assembler then and now. I do that for my job, and I use assembler.

I'm not sure PL/S could be based on PL/I since they both came out around the
same time. I don't even know whether they were developed by the same group
or just happen to be similar and it's not impossible that they were designed
by different groups and look similar because of the ALGOL influence. Many
ALGOL descendants are strikingly similar in many ways. Syntax is similar,
but that's it. What they can actually do and how they are used is completely
different.

So yes, PL/S, PL/AS, and PL/X are much lower level languages than PL/I, and
they're only distant relatives insomuch as their structure looks familiar to
a PL/I programmer...but not more than that, and in many ways much less. They
have no library calls, no conversion routines, etc. They're really not much
more than a custom built HLA for the IBM platform. I'm familiar with all of
them more or less because we have to read code in PL/AS and I wrote code in
PL/X when it was available for a short time. I didn't like it though, I feel
assembler was more natural and easier to use. It's not unusual for systems
software vendors to develop their own languages for writing their OS and
tools and part of the reason is it keeps their staff around since what they
learn isn't portable. Nobody outside IBM uses these languages, so people who
spent careers learning them don't have any transferable skills, aside from
their internals knowledge, which of course is valuable.

That brings us around to what I have been saying. If you want to write
systems software on the mainframe, it can only be done in assembler. Now
I'll add, if you work for IBM, you can do it in PL/X.
