The most recent PL/I standard published by ANSI is dated 1979.
There is a "real-time extensions" standard published in the mid '80s,
and a subset PL/I published in the early '90s.

The SC22 WG for PL/I is no more, and the INCITS J TC for PL/I
is begging to be left in "inactive" status (presumably, rather
than being disbanded).

Check http://www.incits.org/tc_home/j1.htm et seq. for details.
