ABSTRACT:
A method for automatically generating a computer code of a procedural language program from a corresponding program in a declarative language. The declarative language program is analyzed to obtain information about variables to be described in the procedural language program and information about the data flow to be used in the procedural language program. The information extracted from the declarative language program in this analysis is combined with code blocks from a code block file to form the procedural language program that is compiled to form the computer code. This method finds particular application in a computer system with an input/output device, a processor and a memory for developing applications programs that comprise an interface declaration and a business logic. When resident in the computer system, the code generator performs the method to produce interface specific code to produce a user interface between a user and the applications program.
