Abstract
An Object Instruction Language (OIL) provides a method for recording macros in a computer language independent syntax so that the macro can be converted into the source code of multiple computer languages without having to re-record the macro or translate the macro from the recorded language to an alternate language, thereby reducing the time needed to create macros for multiple computer languages, reducing the likelihood of error inherent in repeating a single task multiple times, and providing users of the software with an opportunity to record macros in the users' preferred language.
