APG(ID:8187/)

alternate simple view
Country: United States
Designed 1974

for Applications Program Generator

PL/I-like IBM generator language for the system/7 RT OS, used for programming by example etc, similar approach to RPG

IBM San Jose Lab

Generated JCL code which was then run by the OS

Drawback was the length of time to produce the code
