| The VAX Structure Definition Language (VAX SDL) is used to write source
statements that describe data structures and that can be translated to source
statements in other languages . You can include the resulting output files
in a corresponding target language program for subsequent compilation.
Because VAX SDL is compiler-and-language independent, it is particularly useful
for maintaining multilanguage implementations. For example, you can create and
later modify a single VAX SDL source file that can be translated to
multilanguage output files; any number of these output files can then be
included in one or several multilanguage programming applications.
