Sadly there are several fields which require the use of REXX LISTDSI which
uses an undocumented API to get those fields. To invoke LISTDSI requires being
in a TSO environment.

One of the things that makes a language useful is a large library. You can
start using, e.g., Ada, C++, Java, LaTeX, ooRexx, Perl, Python, with only a
handful of packages, and look for others as the need arises.

This is related to Algol 60, IMO, not Algol 68. Algol 60 had a big
influence on some machines in the 1960s.
The German mainframe Telefunken TR4, designed in the late 1950s, was a
fully transistorized machine and was for some
years the fastest machine built in Europe. And, as Dijkstra once said,

I cut my teeth on Algol also at university - on a Burroughs B6700 mainframe
running MCP. Burroughs at the time were unique in that there was no

ESPOL, the compiler for which was written in DCAlgol. That was just Algol
