Dataless Programming

Abstract

This memorandum describes the preliminary specifications of the Dataless Programming Language, a high-level algebraic language which is an extension of PL/1 and uses its syntax (with some exceptions). Separate sections of the memorandum discuss: specifying hierarchical data references; maintaining the language's two types of pointers; defining individual members of a data collection; special features of the language; its restricted implementation; expected advantages and difficulties. A final section provides two Dataless Programming examples, with commentaries.
