PL/I-FORMAC(ID:560/pli005)

alternate simple view
Country: United States
Designed 1968
Published: 1969
Genus: Formulaic
Sammet category: Non-numerical Scientific

Variant of FORMAC using PL/I as base/host language, became the focus of IBM's development activity as a result of their championing of PL/I.

New version of the preprocessor created as a result of a Share task force, based on their interim report, Schwerdt July 1970

This was the final official IBM version
