Abstract
Systems and methods consistent with the invention include propagating parameter definitions between computer elements and may include at least one memory device containing computer readable instructions. Also included is a computer processor executing the instructions on the memory device to perform the steps of selecting a sub-routine to be called by a calling unit. The processor may determine whether a definition for a parameter in the selected sub-routine is known to the calling unit using the computer processor, the calling unit also containing a definition for a parameter. The definitions for the parameters that are unknown to the calling unit are incorporated into the selected sub-routine using the computer processor. The process of the calling unit is executed. The computer processor is used to bind the definition for the parameter in the sub-routine to the definition of the parameter contained in the calling unit.
