STDL - A Portable Language for Transaction Processing

Summary: STDL is a portable block-structured language for distributed transactions, covering boundaries, RPC, queues, recovery, terminal I/O, and exceptions. Its task-definition layer isolates these features from standard C/COBOL and SQL, enabling reuse across heterogeneous TP monitors. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
