A version of DATABUS became an [[American National Standards Institute|ANSI]] standard, and the name PL/B was adopted when Datapoint refused to release its [[trademark]] on the DATABUS name.
Much like [[Java (programming language)|Java]] and [[Microsoft .NET|.NET]], PL/B programs are compiled into an intermediate [[byte-code]], which is then interpreted by a runtime library. Because of this, many PL/B programs can run on [[DOS]], [[Unix]], [[Linux]], and [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] [[operating system]]s. The PL/B development environments are influenced by Java and [[Visual Basic]], and offer many of the same features found in those languages. PL/B (Databus) is actively used all over the world, and has several forums on the Internet dedicated to supporting software developers.
Since its inception, PL/B has been enhanced and adapted to keep it modernized and able to access various data sources. It has a database capability built-in with ISAM and Associative Hashed Indexes, as well as [[ODBC]], [[SQL]], [[Oracle Database|Oracle]], sequential, random access, and [[XML]] files.
