Mapping PL/I structures to Java data types

You can map PL/I data structures to Java™ data types and modify default mappings during the XOM generation process.

Identical PL/I structures
PL/I group items with identical structures are mapped to a single Java class when you generate the XOM.
Mapping PL/I data items to boolean and date types
The boolean and date types do not exist in PL/I. When you generate a XOM from a PL/I include file, you can use a predefined type converter to change the default mapping of PL/I data items to Java boolean and date types.
Mapping PL/I arrays to the List type
By default, a PL/I array maps to the Java array type. You can change the default mapping of arrays from Array to List.
Remapping a PL/I structure to a Java class type
By default, if PL/I group items have an identical structure, they are mapped to the same Java class. You can remap the group item to another Java class type or a new class type.
Selecting a string trim type for the String type
When a PL/I picture character data item is mapped to the Java String data type, you can choose how blank characters are trimmed in the String.
