Program:

  
<program>		::= <statement list> EOF

<statement list>	::= <statement>
			  | <statement list> <statement>
 






The XPL language is similar to PL/I, but is not PL/I. Major differences between XPL and PL/I are indicated in the text. A program is a sequence of statements terminated by the special symbol eof.

A complete XPL program is equivalent to the body of a PL/I main procedure.

Simple Example: 


  output = 'Hallo, Welt!';
  eof
