Exception handling in PL/I

The PL/I language's facilities for handling exceptional conditions are analyzed. The description is based on the new PL/I standard. Special attention is given to fine points which are not well known. The analysis is generally critical. It emphasizes problems in regards to implementation and structured programming. A few suggestions for future language design are offered.
