Application Program H20-0544-0 System/360 Scientific Subroutine Package (PL/IJ Application Description The System/360 Scientific Subroutine Package (SSP) (PL/I) is a collection of mathematical and statistical subroutines (or procedures) written in the PL/I language. It provides the PL/I user with most of the basic capabilities in earlier FORTRAN versions of SSP /360. It also has the same basic characteristics as the FORTRAN versions, in that it consists of input/output-free computational building blocks, written completely in PL/I, which may be combined with a user's input, output, or computational routines as needed. The package may be applied to the solution of many problems in industry, science, and engineering. This Application Description presents an introduction to the program, a list of the capabilities of the package, rules of usage, machine configu.ration, programming systems, and a list of reference material.
