:::No-one I remember from the OS/360 days called the assembler BAL. 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? [[User:Gah4|Gah4]] ([[User talk:Gah4|talk]]) 22:04, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
::::I always heard it called BAL, but then everyone I knew “migrated from the DOS/360 world to the OS/360 world.” [[User:Peter Flass|Peter Flass]] ([[User talk:Peter Flass|talk]]) 22:53, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
:::::No one I knew in the OS/370 world called either the language or the assembler BAL. It was generally just known as "370 Assembly language" or "the IBM Assembler" or variations thereof. The textbook that was assigned in the class where I was first exposed to it was titled ''System/360–370 Assembler Language (OS)''.
