Easytrieve is a report generator, sold by CA Technologies.[1][2] Easytrieve Classic and Easytrieve Plus are two available versions of this programming language primarily designed to generate reports and are used by large corporations operating in mainframe (z/OS, z/VM, z/VSE), UNIX, Linux, and Microsoft Windows environments.

Easytrieve was originally developed by Ribek Corporation (named for its owner Robert I. Beckler), with an initial release around 1971 or 1972.[3] Easytrieve was originally developed for IBM Systems 360/370 and RCA Series 70 mainframes. Pansophic became the exclusive reseller of Easytrieve in North America in 1973, and then purchased it from Ribek in 1979.[3] Pansophic was bought by Computer Associates in 1991, who in turn were acquired by Broadcom in 2018.

Easytrieve has been described as "[o]ne of the most successful software products of the 1970s".[4]
