Abstract
A program described by using a graphic representation is edited and a text language type programming language is generated from the edited graphic representation. A data table for managing data to be used in programming, a process management table for managing processes applicable to the data and a program table for storing step information of the program are prepared. By using those data, the data and the processes applicable to the data are displayed and a user selects from those displays to graphically represent the program and store the step information of the program in the program table. The delivery of the data during the process is represented by the designation of the data sharing by ports accompanied with the graphic representation. Finally, the target program is generated from the program table.
