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.
