System 2000 [1] [2] [3] (S2K) [4] [5] is a hierarchical database management system (DBMS). [2] Although not a relational database, S2K does have SQL support. [6] In 2007 it was noted that, while still 'running on systems cranking away in back rooms across the U.S.' it has a problem: "there's little curriculum coverage anymore at universities teaching computer science." [2]
System 2000 originated as software for the IBM mainframe environment. It could operate in batch processing mode or be used via CICS. [4] [7] It competed with Cincom's Total, Software AG's ADABAS, Applied Data Research's DATACOM/DB, Computer Corporation of America's Model 204, and IBM Information Management System (IMS) and DL/I. [8] Unisys and CDC versions were subsequently released, as was an interface to SAS. [9]
Programmers could access its Data manipulation language (DML) via a precompiler; [10] these existed for COBOL, FORTRAN, and ASSEMBLY Language. Statements written in S2K's Procedural Language could be intermixed with these languages: the 3 character code "*PL" (in columns 1-3) identified these statements as intended for the precompiler (also referred to as a preprocessor [11]).
System 2000 [12] was developed in 1970. [13] SAS Institute acquired S2K from Intel in 1984, which had acquired it from MRI Systems Corporation in 1979. [14]
MRI was founded by Robert L. Brueck. [15] [16]
Acquiring the System 2000 program gave SAS more "depth as a software company"
using CICS and a System 2000 database
SAS/ACCESS software provides an interface between SAS and SYSTEM 2000
founded the company that became MRI Systems Corporation and was subsequently acquired by Intel Corporation in 1979.
