    Abstract:
    Experience with macro implemented control structures in assembler language indicates that a structured assembler would be a valuable tool, especially in applications such as real time control where access to all features of the machine is important. A structured assembler would allow the use of higher level language control structures without obscuring any hardware capability. Examples of generated code indicate that a structured assembler code indicate that a structured assembler would require only slight overhead compared to higher level languages or even implementation languages. Other alternatives usually available to the user of small computers, such as traditional assembler language or FORTRAN, are many times inadequate. Compared to a traditional assembler, a structured assembler could greatly improve program clarity and help to produce more reliable programs
