Here's the first example program from the book "Introduction to CHILL"
ISBN 92-61-01771-1.

COMPUTE_ABSOLUTE_VALUE:
MODULE
		DCL I INT := 1,
       J INT := I*2;

    I := J * 3;
    J := I / 4;
    I := ABS (J - I);
END COMPUTE_ABSOLUTE_VALUE;

Another book is "CHILL User's Manual", ISBN 92-61-02601-X.
