Line 142: :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) ::For example, look at [http://zseries.marist.edu/enterprisesystemseducation/assemblerlanguageresources/Assembler.V2.alntext%20V2.00.pdf] - the language (per the footnote) is Basic Assembler Language, the assembler is the IBM High Level Assembler for z/OS & z/VM & z/VSE, known as “HLASM”. Hence the current structure, an article on BAL listing the main implementation as HLASM.

It might be that some who migrated from the DOS/360 world to the OS/360 world did that. I suspect not enough to make it the [[WP:COMMONNAME]] though. Even if it was, though, I don't believe it is by the time you get to HLASM. Should the DOS (and successor) assemblers and OS (and successor) assemblers have separate articles?
