'''ISO 8485:1989''' is an [[wikipedia:international standard|international standard]] issued by the [[wikipedia:International Organization for Standardization|ISO]], specifying behavior for a [[Flat array model|flat]] APL dialect nearly identical to [[APL.SV]]. It was succeeded by the Extended APL standard, [[ISO/IEC 13751:2001]]. The features of ISO 8485:1989 have been widely adopted, and its primitives in particular are supported by all commercial APL dialects. | '''ISO 8485:1989''' is an [[wikipedia:international standard|international standard]] issued by the [[wikipedia:International Organization for Standardization|ISO]], specifying behavior for a [[Flat array model|flat]] APL dialect nearly identical to [[APL.SV]].

Work on an APL standard was begun at [[IBM]] in 1974, shortly after the release of [[APL.SV]]. Initially, the standard was simply considered to be defined by APL.SV's implementation, but by 1977 a standard document had been written and was ratified as an IBM standard.<ref>[[Adin Falkoff]]. | Work on an APL standard was begun at [[IBM]] in 1974, shortly after the release of [[APL.SV]].
