The present invention, sometimes referred to as an Application Message Wrapper Generation Wizard or Wizard (for short), is a tool to help application developers map Cobol or Natural copybooks into a message command for an ASCII-based text messaging service. In this sense, the Wizard facilitates communication between client applications and server applications by allowing the client to use generic requests and allowing the Wizard generated files providing the correct protocol and syntax for communication with the destination server application. The Wizard generates Java classes that will mine/plant data a runtime between business objects and a message string that corresponds to the copybook's data structure, and vice versa. The Wizard recognizes different data types of copybook fields respectively, and converts them to/from ASCII. The Java classes generated by the Wizard also serve to abstract mainframe services so as to encapsulate ASCI text messaging system calls from the business layer by treating mainframe services as an ordinary operation on an object and so as to act as a layer than can serve to pave a path for migrating services away from a legacy environment. The generated Java code ensures efficient runtime performance for mining/plating of data. The present invention relates to the Wizard itself, the method of using it, the software system using the files generated by the Wizard and the method of using the generated software system.
