As an alternative to reading the lengthy pTAL Reference Manual and pTAL Conversion
Guide , you can convert the majority of TAL programs by following these steps:
1. Read pTAL Guidelines for TAL Programmers to familiarize yourself with the
difference between TAL and pTAL.
2. Process your source files with the pTAL compiler syntax checking option set. The
syntax is:
EPTAL / IN source-filename , OUT listing-filename / ;SYNTAX
See the pTAL Reference Manual for details on running the pTAL compiler.
3. Examine the pTAL compiler output listings to determine the changes that you must
make to the source files. Look up the items that require changes in the pTAL
Reference Manual and the pTAL Conversion Guide .
