The invention comprises one or more source program files and one or more insert statements inserted into the source program files. The insert statements having one or more logical condition statements with one or more logical parameters and one or more state statements. An insert statement parser determines a state of the condition statement, selects one of the state statements associated with the state, and parses the selected state statement into one or more content source indicators. A content source identification process uses one or more of the content source indicators to determine a content source type and one or more access instructions. A content source access process uses the access instructions to access a content source object. A content insertion process replaces the insert statement with the source object in the source program file.
