This paper describes a translator for batch processing of APL. It was written in PL/1 and has been operational through the usual card reader for input and the printer for output as well as through a typewriter terminal under Remote Job Entry of the Conversational Programming System for both input and output. The subset of APL accepted by the translator is at the level of APL/1130. The translator provides file processing facilities via PL/1 and a form of object program for subsequent, runs. It has served as a temporary substitute and then a supplement to APL/360.
