Internal Report, Language Development Group, DS Programming Systems Planning, IBM Corp., January 15, 1963, 35 pp. view details Abstract: This document is a proposal to add statements to FORTRAN IV in order to develop FORTRAN V. The additions include STRING statements, STRUCTURES, PICTURES, literals, set operations, NAME LIST, and multiple-entry subroutines. Revisions were proposed for EQUIVALENCE and DATA statements. This proposal was superseded by the development of the "New Programming Language" (NPL), which eventually became PL/I.
