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 to object-oriented source code, such as Java, using the report program language compiler. The object-oriented source code emulates the behaviour of the report program language, such as VARPG. Applications written in RPG are converted to Java and therefore can run on every platform for which a Java virtual machine exists. RPG programmers now have the ability to write Internet applications. Java applications and applets can be written in RPG and existing RPG applications can be converted to Java applets.
