# PL/I

This language is available only in the SonarQube Cloud Enterprise plan. See the [Subscription plans](/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/managing-subscription/subscription-plans.md) page for more details.

## Language-specific properties <a href="#language-specific-properties" id="language-specific-properties"></a>

To discover and update the PL/I-specific properties, navigate in SonarQube Cloud to *Your Project* > **Administration** > **General Settings** > **Languages** > **PL/I**. See [Configuration overview](/sonarqube-cloud/analyzing-source-code/analysis-parameters/configuration-overview.md) for more information about setting properties.

## Source code extraction <a href="#source-code-extraction" id="source-code-extraction"></a>

In order to analyze your source code with SonarQube Cloud you need to first extract it onto a file system. You can use your own tool or an open-source tool. Sonar does not provide any connectors or source code extraction tools.

## Dealing with-includes <a href="#dealing-with-includes" id="dealing-with-includes"></a>

There are two possible ways to tell SonarQube Cloud where to retrieve the source code referenced by an `%INCLUDE` statement.

The following syntaxes are supported:

```php
%INCLUDE 'C:/temp/myLib.pli'
%INCLUDE ddname(member);
%INCLUDE member; 
  /* With member not enclosed within single or double quotes, i.e. a SYSLIB member */
```

Example:

If you want to interpret:

```php
%INCLUDE O (XX02511) as %INCLUDE 'C:/temp/o/XX02511.99IPO';
%INCLUDE lib1 as %INCLUDE 'C:/temp/syslib/lib1.pli';
```

the Ddnames are defined as:

```php
  sonar.pli.includeDdnames=O,SYSLIB

  sonar.pli.includeDdname.O.path=c:/temp/o
  sonar.pli.includeDdname.O.suffix=.99IPO

  sonar.pli.includeDdname.SYSLIB.path=c:/temp/syslib
  sonar.pli.includeDdname.SYSLIB.suffix=.pli
```

Note that the following constructs, involving at least two members, are currently not supported:

```php
%INCLUDE member1, member2;
%INCLUDE ddname1(member1), member2;
%INCLUDE member1, ddname1(member2);
%INCLUDE ddname1(member1), ddname2(member2);
```

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/analyzing-source-code/languages/pl-i.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
