ABSTRACT

The paper describes the application of automatic program generation methodology in generating file conversion programs. The system, accepts as input descriptions of source and target files in a Data Description Language (DDL) and data manipulation specifications in a Data Manipulation Language (DML). It produces as an output a conversion program in PL/1 capable of converting the source file and producing the target file.
