ABSTRACT

A Structured APL language (SAPL) is suggested to provide structured programming in APL. The feature of SAPL is an APL preprocessor that interprets Edsger Dijkstra's IF-FI and DO-OD structured program constructs to achieve program flow in APL. The flavor of SAPL is given in several examples.
