| Abstract | In recent year s, Chief Programmer Team, Top-Down
Development, Structured Programming, and Development Support Library which represent the organization, design strategy, programming technique and supporting tool respectively have been treated as a hierarchical set of components in developing a reliable software system. In this study, Top-Down Development (in particular, the structure of
modular programs as in Turner (1980)) and Development
Support Library are studied. It is assumed that the pure
tree structure is the best way to organize program modules
when designing any software system. A software tool called
PL/I Support System (PLISS) is designed and implemented to
support the development of software system in pure tree
structure.
The application of Top-Down Development tends to
proliferate the number of independently compiled modules
that comprise the system and al so places certain demands on
the language used for actual system implementation. These
demands deal primarily with (1) specifying intermodule
relationship; (2) propagating intermodule modification; and
(3) Maintaining consistency in the realization of abstraction. In this thesis, we discuss the implications of these demands on a specific language PL/I. From this discussion the PL/I Support System based on a Programming Production Library is established. Finally, the elements and the functions of PL/I Support System are described.
