A technique for improving the usage of built-in macro languages of applications from used end users for programming is provided. This technique enables the user to use the programming language of his choice. The source code of the user-selected language is stored in objects of the existing application and, if the language is a compiler language, the compiled code and the compiler itself are stored. A Bytecode Processing Server (BPS) is stored in an object of the existing application. This permits the use of the new macro language anywhere without additional installation efforts. The BPS and the existing application communicate via a stub program, which is written in the built-in macro language. This comprises parameter passing and data transfer.
A method for creating a macro module for use with an application program which provides at least one native macro language, the macro module including code written in a non-native macro language to said application program, said method comprising the steps of:
Computer readable code for permitting use of a non-native macro language with an application program, comprising:
In a computing environment, a system for permitting an application program having a native macro language to use a non-native language as a macro language without modifying source code of the application program, comprising:
