Three of the best known decision table generators for PL/1 (in the German-speaking area) are investigated and compared with each other for some different points of view - DECTAT (IBM), DETAB/GT (SYSTOR) and VORELLE (mpb). The results of this investigation are valid only for the named versions of the three products.
