Reminds of of the IBM 'guy' we had on-site daily at my fist gig, he had

I haven't heard the term ABP mentioned in over 20 years.
That brings back memories of stuff I did early in my career.
I remember using IBM's FORMAC compiler (or pre-processor) sometime in
the mid 70s (I think).
IIRC, it generated PL/1 code.
I can't remember what I did but I didn't spend a lot of time on it.
