DIBOL

 

DIBOL

DIBOL or Digital Interactive Business Oriented Language is a COBOL-related programming language originally marketed by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) in 1970. It has a syntax similar to FORTRAN and BASIC, along with BCD arithmetic.

A variant of DIBOL is known as Softbol.

The original version was produced for PDP-8 and PDP-11 systems, though it can also be run on other systems through an emulator. DIBOL-to-COBOL compilers are also available. Synergy/DE provide mechanisms for using existing Dibol code with new applications.
