NevilleDNZ (talk | contribs) m Change: Category dialects => dialect |
Disagree with the suggestion to delete. Merging with the Burroughs Large Systems article is the better option in my opinion as WFL is a distinct enough language from JCL and was integral to a product line sold by a company of notable influence in the history of computing. This makes WFL, in my opinion, notable enough to at least include as a subsection in the aforementioned article. |

Line 6:
WFL also has an instruction block command which is used to give operators instructions needed to run the current job. These instructions are displayed using the 'IB' operator command.
WFL was a compiled language on the medium systems. Because some OS interfaces may change from release to release, Medium Systems WFL code included a copy of the source in the object file. Upon executing a WFL job it would check to determine if the object was compatible with the OS version. If not it would trigger a recompile of the object using the source embedded in the object code.
