IBM APL2 is an array-oriented programming language and development system.

It aimed to combine all their previous and diverse APL offerings into one coherent product line. It was initially available for AIX and OS/2 and later for Microsoft Windows and Solaris. There was also a version available for DOS that was slightly simpler than the other offerings.

APL2 is available for IBM mainframes running VM or z/OS (TSO) and workstations running AIX, Linux, Sun Solaris or Windows.
