Short for Digital Command Language DCL is the scripting language used by most operating systems that were sold by DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation). DCL scripts look similar to any scripting language, with the exception being that All DCL verbs in a script are preceded with a $ symbol. In January 1998, DEC agreed to be acquired by Compaq, which was then acquired by Hewlett-Packard.
