ABSTRACT:
Described herein is a system and method for facilitating the construction of computer programs. The system enables an administrator to define dialogs associated with commands from a computer programming language. Users construct computer programs by using the dialogs. In particular, an user invokes a dialog. Code corresponding to a command associated with the invoked dialog is then automatically generated. The code is in a form and has a syntax defined by the computer programming language. The code is inserted into the computer program being constructed. Computer programs can also be constructed using dialogs and objects. In particular, a plurality of objects each corresponding to a resource in a target environment are defined and instantiated from a plurality of object classes. At least one of the dialogs is associated with each of the objects. An operator selects one or more of the objects (representing the resources in a system), and invokes a dialog associated with the selected objects. The system generates code that, when executed, applies a command associated with the invoked dialog to each of the selected objects. The code is in a form and has a syntax defined by the computer programming language. This code is inserted in the computer program being constructed.
