Line 1: '''PL/B''' (Programming Language for Business) is a business-oriented [[programming language]] originally called '''DATABUS''' and designed by [[Datapoint]] in the early 1970s as an alternative to [[COBOL]] because its 8-bit computers could not fit COBOL into their limited memory, and because COBOL did not at the time have facilities to deal with Datapoint's built-in keyboard and screen. A version of DATABUS became an [[ANSI]] standard, and the name PL/B was adopted when Datapoint refused to release its [[trademark]] on the DATABUS name.
