In computer programming, BAL refers to Business Application Language[edit]

In the computer programming field, BAL has for decades universally stood for IBM's Basic Assembly Language. The IBM Basic Assembly Language has been, and still is, implemented in millions of installations.

This article was written by the author of an obscure resurrection of one of the hundreds of obscure offshoots of the BASIC language. It was apparently once adopted by a single French firm. The author stands to make a profit from giving his BAL undo prominence. I have no idea whether the author's claim that he has applications, written in his version of BAL, running in 100 Italian banks is true. I am sure that the text the author used in this article, that I used as the title for this section, is far from accurate. I'll repeat, to the computer programming industry, BAL refers to Basic Assembly Language. Only to one guy in Italy, and possibly a handful of others around the globe, does it refer to Business Application Language. 24.106.8.146 (talk) 15:28, 10 August 2012 (UTC) Paul[reply]
