Determining equivalent Java and PL/I data types

When you communicate with Java™ from PL/I, you need to match the data types between the two programming languages.

This table shows Java primitive types and their PL/I equivalents.

Table 1. Java primitive types and PL/I native equivalents
Java type PL/I type Size in Bits
Boolean jboolean 8, unsigned
byte jbyte 8
char jchar 16, unsigned
short jshort 16
int jint 32
long jlong 64
float jfloat 21
double jdouble 53
void jvoid n/a
