REPORT PROGRAM LANGUAGE SOURCE CODE TRANSLATION TO OBJECT-ORIENTED LANGUAGE SOURCE CODE WHICH EMULATES REPORT PROGRAM LANGUAGE BEHAVIOUR

摘要

A computer-implemented method in which report program language is converted toobject-oriented source code, such as Java, using the report program languagecompiler. The object-orientedsource code emulates the behaviour of the report program language, such asVARPG. Applicationswritten in RPG are converted to Java and therefore can run on every platformfor which a Javavirtual machine exists. RPG programmers now have the ability to write Internetapplications. Javaapplications and applets can be written in RPG and existing RPG applicationscan be converted toJava applets.
