FARGO (fourteen-o-one automatic report generation operation) was the predecessor to the RPG programming language.
FARGO coordinated the concept of coding sheets that closely approximated the principles of wiring control panels of tabulating machines.
Early FARGO training material showed the wiring control of panels vs. coding sheet relationships.
FARGO was designed for IBM 1401 card systems with at least 4000 positions of Core storage.
COBOL, FORTRAN and RPG languages did not require emulation because System/360 versions were provided.
