Abstract

Certain example embodiments transform a third-generation language (3GL) and/or an Assembler program so that it can be executed within a fourth-generation language (4GL) runtime environment. Certain example embodiments include a method for transforming a 3GL and/or an Assembler program that is callable by a 4GL program so that the 3GL and/or Assembler program is executable upon call by the 4GL program and from within a 4GL runtime environment. For instance a 4GL identifier may be included in the executable of the 3GL and/or the Assembler program to facilitate execution of the 3GL and/or the Assembler program upon call of the fourth-generation language (4GL) program and within the 4GL runtime environment.
