Abstract
A system and method for transforming a procedural program having procedural language code into an object-oriented program, comprises scanning the procedural language code and creating a map based on the scanned procedural language code, storing the scanned procedural language code as intermediate code, processing at least a segment of the procedural language code using the map, creating a first data structure using the processed segment, modifying the intermediate code based on the first data structure andgenerating an object-oriented program having an object class based on the modified intermediate code.
