fourth generation language specification into target language
source code, comprising:
means for converting the fourth generation language
specification into an object oriented model of the fourth
generation language specification;
code templates comprising fragments of code;
means for mapping the object oriented model to the code
templates; and
means for parsing the mapped code templates to produce
source code in a desired target language.
The prior art reference of record relied upon by the
Examiner in rejecting the appealed claims is:
