APL2 is a powerful partner in problem solving
IBM® APL2® is a programming language for users and developers. It provides a collection of functions for solving problems for commercial data processing, system design, visualization, engineering, teaching and more. APL2 enables you to concisely express work needed to be done and responds by displaying the result of the work — without requiring you to consider the underlying computations. It efficiently uses symbolic notation, for example, that helps internationalize code because it is independent of national language.
APL2 is available for IBM z/OS® mainframes running VM or TSO and workstations running AIX®, Linux®, Sun Solaris or Windows™.
Code less
APL2 is concise. A significant computation can fit in one page of code, or even a few lines, so you and your teams can be more productive.
Focus more
Write only what is logically necessary and transcend the internal requirements of the machine. APL2 takes care of internal considerations automatically so you can focus on the problem.
Power up
Handle large or complicated tasks with greater ease. An array-oriented environment enables you to manipulate huge amounts of data interactively.
