Since its inception, PL/B has been enhanced and adapted to keep it modernized and able to access various data sources. It has a database capability built-in with ISAM and Associative Hashed Indexes, as well as [[ODBC]], [[SQL]], [[Oracle Database|Oracle]], sequential, random access, and [[XML]] files.

All the constructs of modern programming languages have been incrementally added to the language. PL/B also has the ability to access external routines through COM, DLL's and [[Microsoft .NET|.NET]] assemblies. Full access to the [[Microsoft .NET|.NET]] framework is built into many versions.

PL/B is a very very mature language with a broad user base which makes it ideal for the development of business oriented systems. Several implementations of the language are capable of running as an Application Server like [[Citrix]], and connecting to remote databases through a data manager.
