Calling between C++ and PL/I

Table 1 describes the types of calls between C++ and PL/I that Language Environment allows:

Table 1. Calls permitted for C++ and PL/I ILC
ILC direction	Static calls	Dynamic calls using DLLs	Fetch/Calls
C++ to PL/I	Yes	Yes (1)	C++ does not support `fetch()` for PL/I
PL/I to C++	Yes	Yes (1)	No

Note: Enterprise PL/I for z/OS® supports calls to a C++ DLL, and also allows calls from C++ to a PL/I DLL. In this case, the C++ code could also optionally be compiled with the XPLINK option.
