User's guide for SFTRAN/360

Abstract

Extension and improvements made to SFTRAN, a structured-programming language are discussed. This improved language is implemented as a precompiler that translates from SFTRAN to FORTRAN. The SFTRAN language and its use are described. Time-Sharing System (TSS) command procedures were implemented that eliminate the complications of dealing with extra files and processing steps which the use of a precompiler would otherwise require. These command procedures are described and their use is illustrated by examples
