• ECMA BASIC
  ISO Full BASIC is a super-set of ECMA BASIC.
  Thus ECMA-116 standard can be a reference about Decimal BASIC.
  Decimal BASIC is compatible with ECMA BASIC-1, ECMA GRAPHICS module, and the EXCEPTION HANDLING part of BASIC-2.
  The reserved words of Decimal BASIC are those of BASIC-2.
  Note that Decimal BASIC implements the GRAPHICS module of ISO Full BASIC, which is not contained in ECMA BASIC.
