Abstract

A system is provided for generically generating and parsing instructions. The system generates instructions from data that specifies values for attributes of those instructions, such as values for variables, and, conversely, generates attribute values for instructions by parsing instructions. The mechanism uses syntax data that defines commands in a computer language. The same syntax data may be used to both generate instructions and to generate attribute values for instructions by parsing. In addition, generated attribute values may be applied to syntax data describing commands in another computer language to produce instructions in the other computer language.
