• Powerful indexing language for processing multi-level iterative data (arrays, trailers, etc.), featuring automatic search and operations. 
• Conditional expressions nested up to 99 levels, which may include validity checking, text scanning, etc. 
• Efficient character-translation tables to perform operations such as translating lowercase to uppercase letters.
