File No. S 360-26 Order No. GC2a.",6615-3 OS Systems Reference Library OS ALGOL Language OS Release 21 This publication provides the programmer with the information needed to use the IBM System/360 Operating System ALGOL compiler for the solution of scientific and technical problems. ALGOL has been introduced in a number of univerSities and technical institutes for communication and education purposes. To assist that particular area, the OS ALGOL Compiler is intended to provide a bridge to System/360 for existing ALGOL,users. A basic lmowledge of the ALGOL language is assumed. This publication consists of two main parts. The first {section 1 to 5)describes the elements of the ALGOL language, the second (section 6) describes the input/output procedures to be called when using ALGOL. PREFACE This publication is based on: 1. the "Revised Report on the Algorithmic language ALGOL 60", published originally in the Communications of the Association for Computing Machinery, volume 6 (1963), page 1, in the Computer Journal, volume 5, number 4 (1963), page 349, and in the Numerische Mathematik, volume 4 (1963), page 420 t (some comments in the paper "A list of the remaining trouble spots in ALGOL 60" by D. E. Knuth, published in the ALGOL Bulletin 19 (1965), page 29, were taken into consideration). 2. the "Report on Input-Output Procedures for ALGOL 60", published originally in the Communications of the Association for Computing Machinery, volume 7 (1964), page 628; in the ALGOL Bulletin, number 16, page 9, and in the Numerische Mathematik, volume 6 (1964), page 459.
