Clarion

Comments Off on Clarion

A blast from the past!

Clarion is a classic 4GL (fourth-generation language) that was popular in the 1980s and 1990s. Here’s an example of how to write “Hello World!” in Clarion:

PROGRAM HELLO_WORLD

MAIN()

    PRINT "Hello World!"
    RETURN

END MAIN

END PROGRAM

Let me explain what’s going on:

  • PROGRAM is the program header, which defines the name of the program.
  • HELLO_WORLD is the name of the program.
  • MAIN() is the main procedure, which contains the code that runs when the program starts.
  • PRINT "Hello World!" prints the string “Hello World!” to the screen.
  • RETURN returns control to the operating system, indicating that the program has finished executing.
  • END MAIN and END PROGRAM are just syntax to mark the end of the main procedure and the program itself.

Note that this code is written in Clarion’s procedural style, which is quite different from modern programming languages.
