APL2 manages large quantities of data, enabling you to remain focused on solving complex problems.

• Information Technology professionals view APL2 as a highly productive tool for developing both commercial and scientific applications.
• APL2 is extremely effective in such diverse areas as "what-if" modeling, exploratory programming, interactive computing, decision support, and data analysis.
• The APL2 family of products consists of two products: Workstation APL2 and APL2 for S/370™ and S/390® Mainframes. Workstation APL2 runs on IBM AIX®, Linux™ for PCs, Sun® Solaris®,and Microsoft® Windows®. APL2 for S/370 and S/390 Mainframes runs on IBM mainframes with CMS or TSO.
