Template:Linkless In computer programming, BAL (an acronym for Business Application Language) refer to a high-level programming language similar to BASIC.
It was originally defined in Honeywell in 1973 and the major diffusion was in the '80-'90 in Europe with the work of French firm Prologue S.A. that used BAL for programming on their proprietary Operative System (Prologue).
In 1976 start the porting of the language on Unix platform, the first development environment, named Balix, are distibuited from 1978 in Italy and France. An improved version are developed from Prologue S.A., named ABAL, in 1992.
Another major improvment are the evolution from Balix, developed in Italy, called B2U (an acronym for Business under UNIX), that are used for a Banking Information System that are used on one hundred of Banks in Italy.
