ABSTRACT:
A jacketing system automatically interfaces dissimilar program units during program execution on a computer system. Means are provided for detecting a call for execution of a second program unit having a second call standard form a first program unit having a first call standard during execution of the first program unit on the computer system. A procedure descriptor is used in the code for the first program unit and it includes a signature that defines the call standard for each incoming call to the first program unit. A bound procedure descriptor is also used in the code for each outgoing call from the first program unit and it includes a signature that defines the call standard for the target program unit. Jacketing routines are driven by the descriptors in jacketing calls between the two program units.
