Control language functions have greatly increased in recent times. Much of the increase is due to the fact that as new facilities were developed in operating systems no corresponding specifications were added to common programming languages. Programming languages did have statements that interfaced with input/output systems; these were also used to address problems of file and database management, as well as transfer of data between successive program segments. Unfortunately the control languages that took on the control and data flow specifications developed in an ad hoc fashion with little concern for intersystem consistency. Their syntax is frequently infantile and many specifications are set by local default conditions. The result is that control languages present one of the major stumbling blocks in programming and severelyhinder transferability of programs.
