TL;DR: This report describes the use and the organization of the operating system which serves as the environment of the PL360 language defined in the companion report, CS 53.
Abstract: This report describes the use and the organization of the operating system which serves as the environment of the PL360 language defined in the companion report, CS 53 [Niklaus Wirth, "A Programming Language for the 360 Computers," Stanford University Department of Computer Science, June 1967]. Edited by Niklaus Wirth.
TL;DR: A programming language is presented which is used as a system implementation language instead of PL360 for constructing hardware related system modules for the AMDAHL 470 computer at the “MPI fur Plasmaphysik”.

TL;DR: A formal description of PL360 as it is presently implemented is given in this article, followed by instructions on how to use the PL360 compiler and PL360 programs in an interactive mode under the Orvyl time-sharing monitor.
Abstract: In 1968, N. Wirth (Jan. JACM) published a formal description of PL360, a programming language designed specifically for the IBM 360. PL360 has an appearance similar to that of Algol, but it provides the facilities of a symbolic machine language. Since 1968, numerous extensions and modifications have been made to the PL360 compiler which was originally designed and implemented by N. Wirth and J. Wells. Interface and input-output subroutines have been written which allow the use of PL360 under OS, DOS, MTS and Orvyl. A formal description of PL360 as it is presently implemented is given. The description of the language is followed by sections on the use of PL360 under various operating systems, namely OS, DOS and MTS. Instructions on how to use the PL360 compiler and PL360 programs in an interactive mode under the Orvyl time-sharing monitor are also included.
