SDL, LANGUAGES, Data Structure/Interface Definition Language Version Info: V2.3-1 The SDL tool compiles a data definition language module into the specified target language; the tool converts a language-independent definition file (an SDL input file) into a language-dependent definition file. Whether alone or in conjunction with mechanisms such as the OpenVMS MESSAGE/SDL command (a latent and undocumented qualifier which converts the .MSG file into an SDL file) and the Freeware GNM tool, the SDL tool can be used to maintain common sources for a wide variety of language files. This directory contains a PCSI installation kit containing the current version of SDL for OpenVMS VAX, OpenVMS Alpha, and OpenVMS I64 systems. To use this kit, use PRODUCT INSTALL to install the PCSI kit, and the kit will install and register the kit, including adding the SDL verb definition to the command tables.
