Abstract

A digital computer system having a memory system organized into objects for storing items of information and a processor for processing data in response to instructions. An object identifier code is associated with each object. The objects include procedure objects and data objects. The procedure objects contain procedures including the instructions and name tables associated with the procedures. The instructions contain operation codes and names representing data. Each name corresponds to a name table entry in the name table associated with the procedure. The name table for a name contains information from which the processor may determine the location and the format for the data (e.g., an operand) represented by the name.
