Abstract

In a method of supporting production of an application program layout, when combining parts with each other, it is possible to sequentially execute the parts for evaluation thereof. There are disposed a program parts control table, a program layout control table, and component data including a program part entry for storing therein a part record of the program parts control table, and a message delivery program for delivering an external message call to each execution object corresponding to the program part entry. According to an indication input including specification of a program part, a part record is set to the program part entry of the component data, and the application program is executed by exchanging a message between the component data items. The message delivered to each component data is processed by the message delivery program.
