    • Eberhard Sturm, "The new PL/I" (only available in German OR as Kindle edition), read
    • Robin Vowel, "Introduction into PL/I" (available from the author, consider shipping costs from .AU), not read yet

    are my two reading tips, but i'm interested in others too,

    Eberhard Sturm's book is available in English too (as well as German).

     

    The full title of my book is "Introduction to PL/I and Structured Programming".
