==Preprocessor operation==
The preprocessor operates by scanning the input text and recognizing declared ''preprocessor names'', also called ''preprocessor identifiers''. The text is copied to the preprocessor output with the preprocessor names replaced with their current values. The name may represent a call to a ''preprocessor procedure'' ([[Macro (computer science)|macro
===Preprocessor data types===
Line 42:
*{{code|%IF}} controls the flow of the preprocessor scan according to the value of a preprocessor expression.
<pre>
%IF preprocessor-expression
%THEN preprocessor unit1
%ELSE preprocessor-unit2
</
The preprocessor-units can be any single preprocessor statement or a preprocessor {{code|DO}}-group.
*{{code|%ITERATE}} transfers control to the {{code|%END}} of the containing preprocessor {{code|DO}}-group, ending the current iteration and beginning the next if needed.

==Preprocessor built-ins==
These are the built-ins for IBM's ''PL/I for MVS and VM'' compiler.<ref name=PLI1.1>{{cite book|last=IBM Corporation|title=IBM PL/I for MVS & VM Language Reference|year=1995}}</ref>{{rp|pp.404–406}} There can be considerable difference in the built-ins provided among
* {{code|COMPILETIME}} — returns the date and time of compilation as a character string such as "15 SEP 12 15:30:00" for September 15, 2012 3:30PM (local time).
* {{code|COUNTER}} — returns a character string containing a number that is "00001" for the first call to {{code|COUNTER}} and increases by one for each subsequent call.

==Example==
The following example for IBM PL/I for OS/2 illustrates the use of a preprocessor procedure to implement a C-like write statement for PL/I.<ref>{{cite web|last=Sturm|first=Eberhard|title=UIO-Makros für Builtin-Funktionen fileread und filewrite|url=
<syntaxhighlight lang="rexx" line highlight="1,25,26">
%uwrite:
procedure keys (File, From, Count);
Line 96:
%end;
%act uwrite;
</syntaxhighlight>
The statement {{code|uwrite file(file_name) from(var_str) count(64);}} generates the following:
<
do;
dcl Count00001 fixed bin (15);
Count00001 = filewrite(file_name, ptradd(addr(var_str), 2), min(length(var_str), 64));
end;
</syntaxhighlight>

A single compile-time builtin, <code>SUBSTR</code>, was added.
