Lack of notability

IMHO this subject should be deleted, because the term "high level assembler" is not established. I think I'm an assembler expert. None of my 20 or so books contains the term "high level assembler", and on the internet I only find the vagaries of Randall Hide. Adding conditional compilation, macro's or facilities to more easily call external facilities (in higher level languages like C) are unsufficient ground. Especially not because it is hard to find a serious tool that doesn't allow for conditional compilation and/or macro's. Once there are macro's you can easily add facilities for external calls.

If the information here is to be salvaged, the subject should be renamed. Even so the information could better be distributed over subjects like "calling high level languages from assembler" . A good article would probably be dismissed as "original research". 80.100.243.19 (talk) 16:28, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

PL/360

While PL/360 had features that the IBM D, F and XF assemblers lacked, it's lack of an equivalent to USING and its lack of macros left it arguably lower level than the assemblers bundled with the IBM S/360 and S/370 operating systems.
