IBM 1401

The IBM 1401 and 1460 Basic 4K Report Program Gen-
erator, with load-and-go capability, produces programs
that write reports of variable format. This publication
explains the writing of report specifications and the
preparation of source decks, to produce object pro-
grams.
The language used for the report specifications is
problem-oriented rather than machine-oriented. There-
