METHOD, COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT, AND SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATICALLY GENERATING A HIERARCHICAL DATABASE SCHEMA REPORT TO FACILITATE WRITING APPLICATION CODE FOR ACCESSING HIERARCHICAL DATABASES

A database definition, logical database view, extended field definition and control statement information are accessed to build an in-memory representation of selective information contained therein. Utilizing this in-memory representation, a hierarchical database schema report is automatically generated wherein this hierarchical database schema report may be used to write application code to access the hierarchical database without further need to utilize the database definition, the extended field definition, the logical database view or any combination thereof.
