ABSTRACT:
A system for reading existing program source codes which may be initially stored in computer memory, hard disk storage devices, on floppy disk storage device, diskettes, or virtually any other computer readable medium. A table lookup may be used to convert the native source code into a into a pseudo code form for writing out of such code as an interim source code file into virtual memory to be used for conversion and manipulation. The source code in the pseudo format is processed in five (I-V) phases resulting in a new program source code with appropriate instructions to call library common functions for the new system stored in the system library as created by the optimization system. In addition, various files, data elements and work space allocations each of which occupy the same space with other such files, elements and work space allocations are normalized, i.e. referred to by the same names by all source code. During the optimization process, the user may interactively change the names of files, any of the attributes of the data elements which will be reflected for all occurrences of the element and workspace definitions. In addition, work space allocations are given a unique name by the system.
