That's because they have separately compiled procedures (or
subroutines or functions) and don't need it.  When you link the
program, you tell the linker which procedures go in which overlay
segment.  All of the IBM mainframe languages used the same linker so
you could overlay programs written any of them so long as you could
tell the compiler to generate separate object modules.

I never used IBM mainframe overlays, but in the 1980s I used a MS-DOS
linker that worked almost exactly the same way to fold about 800K of C
code into the 640K DOS address space.

COBOL started in the era of no OS, where a minimal loader loaded
the code into a bare-metal machine, so when it needed more memory
than the system had, it had to arrange to bring in the segments
needed only as and when they were needed.

Early PC DOS was also a very minimal OS, and apps larger than the
available memory also had to do their own memory management.

This functionality was quickly pushed down into the OS though (long
before DOS - DOS was simply miles behind when it launched). This
meant that app programmers no longer had to manage their own overlays,
as the functionality became handled transparently by the compilers and
linkers, and eventually pushed even lower into the OS as OS's got more
advanced and made use of improved hardware memory management features.

This sounds a lot like the way their analysts worked.

Yeah, that's the waterfall model, which was very popular in the late
1950s and 1960s: start with requirements, move to design, then
implementation, verification, and end up with maintenance.

By the time Fred Brooks wrote "The Mythical Man Month" in 1975,
everyone who was actually doing programming knew it didn't work, but
we've been arguing ever since about what programming models actually
do work.

	That's a little harsh, AIUI it worked just fine for replacing rooms
full of clerks using ledgers and anything else where the requirements were
completely understood and not subject to change. Unfortunately by the mid
70s pretty much all of those applications had long been done.

> we've been arguing ever since about what programming models actually
> do work.

	Programming models that work aren't too hard I've worked using
several, programming models that work *and* keep manglement happy are
another matter. The current flavour of the month (sprint/scrum) is IMHO a
bit too heavily weighted to keeping manglement happy.

Only after I stopped using code like this (and Cobol entirely) I came up
with a scheme to pair a character variable or two with the alterable goto. 
Whenever the goto is altered you could set the corresponding character var
to the blue of the target label.  To be doubly sure set a second to
indicate where the alter occurs.  This should make it much easier to debug.

	The only "good" use (besides my aforementioned coroutine case) I'd seen
for the ASSIGNed goto was the output of a preprocessor (for some reason,
the company I was with did not have access to the proprocessor, only the
output files, and had to do maintenance on that). 

	Input language was a pseudo-C; output was FORTRAN using 

	ASSIGN 1234 to I001
	GOTO	9999
1234	CONTINUE

as a local subroutine call,


9999	stuff
		GOTO I001

as the return.


	In essence -- thousands of lines of FORTRAN which behaved like BASIC
(all variables global, no arguments on subroutine calls, and nearly
spaghetti)

	When I first started maintaining that -- and porting to VAX from PDP...
I ended up putting all the variables into one large common block, and
recoded some 60 subroutine files out of all the ASSIGN/GOTO crud. (That was
for the main program -- it spawned dozens of others on operator command)

Please, that's COMPUTED GOTO, the predecessor of the C switch
statement.  Anything you could do with assigned goto, you could
do with computed goto.  Assign puts the address of the target statement
into the variable, computed puts an index into the variable, and it
indexes a list of statement numbers in the goto statement.

Mia culpa... it is COMPUTED GOTO.  There are a couple of COMPUTED GOTO's in 
the FORTRAN IV code for Colossal Cave Adventure... that dispatches the 
commands to the right section of code.  Even BASIC has a form of COMPUTED 
GOTO, but *not* ASSIGNED GOTO.

I guess I chose the ASSIGNED GOTO because I had *never* used it before, and 
I have *never* used it since.  ISTM that ASSIGNED GOTO is *no* longer 
supported since FORTRAN 90...  (It is *not* just depricated... it's 
*gone*!!!)

	According to my F90 text book, ASSIGN (and related GOTO var) were
declared "obsolescent" in F90, but were still in the language. My F95 book
implies that it was intended to be a small change level, so likely did not
delete obsolescent features.

	What is /now/ if Fortran, I don't know -- there have been at least two
releases since F90/95.

Thanks for remembering that.
Code reviews took away all the "fun names" for things :-(

One version of FORTRAN (perhaps WATFIV) had DUMPLIST:
dump specific variables upon ABEND
instead of wasting paper with a full core dump.
I had the program auto curse-itself upon error with
	dumplist/oh-shit/i,j,foo,bar,baz

But it's all window dressing.
C/C++ using a pointer-to-function or reference-to-function
is still taking the address of a function/subroutine
to CALL/GOSUB/JSR it later.

Oh, that's just disgusting!
Unless the calling point was saved,
how did you COME-FROM to return back to the calling GOTO?

As I commented in an earlier posting,
a FORTRAN variant had the 'computed goto',
which could kinda, almost implement a SWITCH/CASE,
complete with default case and case fall-thru.
	GOTO (20,30,40,50) i
C  fall thru here for i<1 or i>4

20  ... got here for i .eq. 1
30  ... got here for i .eq. 2
40  ... got here for i .eq. 3
50  ... got here for i .eq. 4

	As I illustrated some posts up... the ASSIGN was used to save the
return point... The subroutine itself was a fixed label, it is the return
that needed a variable label.

	ASSIGN 1234 to I001
	GOTO 9999
1234 CONTINUE

Constituted a call to subroutine at label 9999. The return was just

	GOTO I001

I'm not sure if I mentioned it is *this* group recently, but BCPL had 
that. Only worse.

I don't remember you doing so.

My only brush with BCPL was when I found a article including a source 
listing of the GPM. As it was something I wanted to play with and I 
didn't have a BCPL compiler, I hand translated it into Algol 60 on a 
1900. BCPL, or the subset used to write the GPM, was evidently not that 
hard to read since the Algol version ran almost straight away and 
successfully generated 'One Man Went to Mow', which I used as a test 
piece.

If you were interested in GPM, try ML/I. See: http://www.ml1.org.uk

OK, in BCPL you could modify the *label* (using past tense although it's 
still around). Labels were first class objects; every label declared a 
storage cell (BCPL was typeless), and the cell was initialised to contain 
the address of the code being labelled. A GOTO retrieved the contents of 
that cell and placed it in the PC (e.g. by using a compiled indirect 
jump).

But *you could assign another value to the label*. And make that GOTO go 
somewhere else!

Neat mechanism, but a nightmare if misused. 

How did BCPL handle arrays and did it implement bound checking, i.e. was 
it possible to create havoc by applying a subscript to a label?

This is a *low* level language. Anathema to have bounds checking, and 
anyway arrays were too high level.

In general, if A contained a memory address, then A was an array pointer, 
regardless of what it pointed to. Then the first element was A!0, second 
was A!1, etc. Or A!B, where B was an arbitary value. This was syntactic 
sugar for adding A to B and then using the resulting address for memory 
access.

To declare an array, you generally used a library function ('newvec' I 
think) that was like malloc in C (and on which malloc was based), thus 
getting the address of some memory you could treat as an array. Or you 
could declare a local array with:
  let x = vec 100
which declared 102 cells (0 to 100, plus one (named x) that pointed to 
the base of the 101 cells).

Or you could just use any address you liked, e.g. the address of a device 
register if it was memory mapped. I worked on a terminal concentrator 
where we used that a lot.

One last weird one. You could declare a table of predefined values:
  let x = TABLE 1,2,3,4,5
or whatever. x would get the address of the first cell. By filling the 
table with actual machine instructions, you could then execute them with:
  goto x
or even
  x()
