1. A method for automatically generating computer code in a procedural language from a program coded in a declarative language, said program having elements specifying variables and communication units, and a data flow defined by a processing sequence of said communication units, comprising the steps of:

  • providing a code block file having a set of code blocks defining a basic code structure of said procedural language code;

    analyzing said variables of said declarative language program to obtain variables information corresponding to said code blocks;

    analyzing said data flow of said declarative language program to obtain data flow information about the order of said processing sequence in which said communication units are used, said data flow information corresponding to said code blocks;

    extracting from said code block file fragments of said procedural language code; and

    combining said variables information and said data flow information with said fragments of said code block file to produce said computer code in said procedural language.
