BASIC (Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code)
Standards
- Minimal BASIC
- ECMA-55 MINIMAL Basic Standard - Now withdrawn by ECMA but used as a reference in some modern "Street Basic" implementations
- Also known as ISO 6373:1984 Data processing - Programming languages - Minimal BASIC - The standard originated at ECMA but copies of it are still valid standards in some countries for instance as ANSI X3.60-1978 minimal BASIC in the USA, as Australian Standard AS 2797-1985 Programming language - Minimal BASIC
- Full BASIC
- ECMA-116 ECMA Basic-1, ECMA Basic-2 and ECMA Graphics Module Standards - Now withdrawn but used as a reference for a number of modern Basic implementations.
- Like the earlier standard this originated at EMCA and while they have withdrawn it a number of international and local standard organisations still have it as current standard including ANSI X3.113-1987 "Programming Languages Full BASIC" in the USA and the international INCITS/ISO/IEC 10279-1991 (R2005) "Information Technology - Programming Languages - Full BASIC".
- ANSI X3.113 Interpretations-1992 "BASIC Technical Information Bulletin # 1 Interpretations of ANSI 03.113-1987"
- USA only addendum to the ECMA-116 standard
- ISO/IEC 10279:1991/ Amd 1:1994 "Modules and Single Character Input Enhancement"
- Small addendum to the original ECMA-116/ISO10279 standard
