A method for converting data formats which differ from one another during exchange of messages or data between programs running on different processors of a communication system provides that a conversion procedure is generated per each data type during the translation event of the source programs and that the conversion procedure which controls the conversion of the data formats is called during the later running of the processes and programs immediately before a message exchange.

Method for converting data formats which differ from one another

In communications systems the problem often arises of memory-efficient intermediate storage of system data. To solve this problem, the invention provides that during the process of generating the control programs for the communications system at least one table is created of such a type that the system data to be written into the same during the execution of these programs are intermediately stored without reserving additional memory space and without larger dynamic loss.
