Line 1: '''PL/B''' (Programming Language for Business) is a business-oriented [[programming language]] originally called DATABUS and designed by [[Datapoint]] in the early 1970s as an alternative to [[COBOL]] because its 8-bit computers could not fit COBOL into their limited memory, and because COBOL did not at the time have facilities to deal with Datapoint's built-in keyboard and screen. A version of DATABUS became an [[ANSI]] standard, and the name PL/B was adopted when Datapoint refused to release its [[trademark]] on the DATABUS name. ==External links== [http://www.sysmaker.com/infopro/x3j15 ANSI PL/B Standards Committee] [http://www.sunbelt-plb.com/show.php?Page=aboutplb.shtml An implementation of PL/B] by [[Sunbelt]]
