Abstract
The disclosed invention is a method for generating code in a maintainable form and in performing needed maintenance for the same. This method is useful in a computing system having at least one server and a multiplicity of clients coupled thereto by means of a network. The server includes a CPU executing legacy programs and at least one storage device for storing forms of the legacy program. The generated code implements the host forms while allowing for additional logic to be added. The method of this invention operates in at least one of the clients for generating code for modifying existing event routines for controls on the forms. Moreover, the code generated by the method of this invention is separated from additional logic added by a programmer, and this programmer-added logic is retained even as the generated code is revised.
