The language was described in Rutishauser's 1951 publication Über automatische Rechenplanfertigung bei programmgesteuerten Rechenmaschinen (i.e. Automatically created Computation Plans for Program-Controlled Computing Machines).[1]

Superplan introduced the keyword "for" resp. the German für with its for loop, which had the following form ( being an array):

Für i=base(increment)limit:  + addend =
