'''Data Language/I Interface''' (Data Language/I, DL/I, Data Language/Interface, Data Language/One <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/zvse/products/database.html#dli|title=IBM z/VSE Products and components|publisher=[[IBM]]|accessdate=2009-06-27}}</ref>) is the language system used to access [[International Business Machines|IBM]]’s [[Information Management System|IMS]] [[database]]s, and its data communication system.

It is implemented from any language by making calls to a software stub, DFSLI000. This stub has entry points to handle a variety of programming languages e.g. calling CBLTDLI from a [[COBOL]] program. This stub is linked to the calling program, passes on the request to the IMS system, and returns the results and a status code.

Line 15:

A typical call from a PL/I program might be . . . CALL PLITDLI(FOUR, GU, Stores-Database-PCB, Stores-Segment-Area, Stores-Root-SSA);
