SDPL is a pre-processor which accepts an SDPL program  (.SDM
extension) and produces a DPL program (.DMC extension) and a
listing file (.LST extension).  SDPL is a superset  of  both
System  1022's  DPL,  and  the  "report writer" of 1022.  It
contains all the  capabilities  of  ordinary  1022  DPL  and
report  writer.

Structured DPL (SDPL) provides the  DPL  programmer  with  a
highly  structured  language  capable of producing efficient
DPL programs.  SDPL has the following features:

      1.  eliminates the need for GOTO's and labels
      2.  allows compound conditionals, e.g., IF X EQ 1 AND Y
         EQ 2
      3.  fosters good programming techniques
      4.  Supports common structured  programming  constructs
         such as UNTIL, WHILE, CASES etc.
