ABSTRACT:
A computer which executes rules which are defined according to a language having a valid grammar. The computer comprises input means for receiving and temporarily storing a first source code representation of a rule; object code translation means for translating the first source code representation into a first object code representation executable by the computer; storage means for storing the object code representations of rules; discard means for automatically discarding from the input means the first source code representation upon the storing of the first object code representation in the storage means; source code translation means for translating the first object code representation into a second source code representation where the second source code representation has lines of text; edit means for editing the second source code representation by deleting, adding, or changing one or more of the lines of text of the second source code representation; second object code translation means for translating the second source code representation, as edited, into a new object code representation of the edited rule for storage in the storage means; and the discard means discarding the first object code and second source code representations automatically upon the storing of the new object code representation of the edited rule in the storage means. The computer thereby minimizes the storage required in the storage means for storing rules and maintains version control over the object code representations of rules stored in the storage means.
