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. |
