Line 208: :The assembler for BAL is named Basic Assembler. There is a link to http://bitsavers.org/pdf/ibm/360/bos_bps/C20-6503-0_BAL_Feb65.pdf in the article. -- [[User:Chatul\|Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul]] ([[User talk:Chatul\|talk]]) 21:53, 12 July 2023 (UTC) == ''Even something as simple as writing a "sequential file" is coded differently e.g. in z/OS than in z/VSE.'' == The article says: ''Even something as simple as writing a "sequential file" is coded differently e.g. in z/OS than in z/VSE'' which I presume is true. z/VSE is a descendant of DOS/360, and z/OS a descendant of OS/360. They started out different, and are still different. I suspect that the macros for DOS/360 are similar to those of z/VSE. At some point, DOS/360 was supposed to be interim until OS/360 was available. In that sense, we could ask why we are still using it (almost) 60 years later. Or maybe we should have two articles, one for the DOS/360 side, and one for the OS/360 side, which it seems will never meet. [[User:Gah4\|Gah4]] ([[User talk:Gah4\|talk]]) 07:33, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
