Apples and oranges: Go ahead and fix it.

The edit https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Basic_Assembly_Language&oldid=1164874838 introduces errors. E.g., the tables shows Basic Assembler Language as having been written in HLASM, which did not exist at the time, and as running on systems other than BPS/360, which it is not able to do. Absent a compelling reason, I plan to restore the status quo. -- [[User:Chatul|Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul]] ([[User talk:Chatul|talk]]) 18:27, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
:"What the heck?" was my response to that move and merge, too. Go ahead and restore the status quo. [[User:Guy Harris|Guy Harris]] ([[User talk:Guy Harris|talk]]) 18:28, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
:Well, according to the definition, HLASM is a assembl''er'', not a language. So the essential question is what language HLASM consumes. As far as I could tell, the language HLASM consumes is BAL.
:Your comment seems confused about the definitions of various terms. BAL is a language, not an assembler, so it is not written in anything. [[User:Mathnerd314159|Mathnerd314159]] ([[User talk:Mathnerd314159|talk]]) 18:33, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
