SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING TARGET LANGUAGE CODE UTILIZING AN OBJECT ORIENTED CODE GENERATOR

A system for generating target language source code utilizing an object oriented code generator is disclosed. A desired computer programming function is specified using a fourth generation language. An object oriented converter converts the fourth generation language specification into an object oriented model which retains the function and inter-relationships defined in the specification. The object oriented model is applied against a set of source code templates for a desired target language, which will typically be a third generation language. An object oriented generator engine parses the resulting collection of templates to form source code files having the desired programming function in the desired target language.
