Abstract
A computer-implemented method generates program code of an executable control program for controlling a control system. Functionality of the control program is described at least in part in a graphical model. The graphical model is translated into program code in a text-based programming language. The method includes: generating a first placeholder representing a variable, the first placeholder being used in a predetermined segment of the program code; generating a second placeholder, which is placed before a beginning of the predetermined segment of the program code that uses the first placeholder; and generating a third placeholder, which is placed after an end of the predetermined segment of the program code that uses the first placeholder.
