IBM 360 assembly language.
|
|
|
|
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
|
|
|
|
ASM360, Assembler 360, 360 assembly, or Basic Assembly Language (BAL) are the commonly
|
|
used terms for a low-level programming language used on IBM System/360
|
|
and successor mainframes.
|
|
Originally "Basic Assembly Language" applied only to an extremely restricted
|
|
dialect designed to run under control of IBM Basic Programming Support
|
|
(BPS/360) on systems with only 8KB of main memory, and only a card reader,
|
|
a card punch, and a printer for input/output — thus the word "Basic".
|
|
However, the full name and the initialism "BAL" almost immediately attached
|
|
themselves in popular use to all assembly-language dialects on the System/360 and
|
|
its descendants. The 360 assembly was introduced with the System/360 in 1964.
