Abstract
The present invention is a computer implemented method and system for translating a program (9) on a source application system in a first representation to a second representation on a target application system. The method includes the steps of generating a cross reference (27) between a first set of data items from the source application system and a second set of data items from the target application system; and translating the program (9) in the first representation on the source application system to the second representation on the target application system in accordance with the cross reference (27). The system of the present invention includes a program input mechanism (30) for extracting a first set of data items from the source application system, an information repository input mechanism (33) for accepting a second set of data items from the target application system; a cross referencing subsystem (23) for generating a cross reference (27) between the first and second sets of data items; and a translator (11) for translating user selected statements from the program in accordance with the cross reference (27).
