  • Generation of rules-based computer programs using data entry screens
    Patent number: 5450545
    Abstract: A method and system for generating a rules-based computer program employs an interactive workstation to display input data format screens. These screens are edited on the workstation to define the formats of all permissible items of input data to the program and the formats are stored. The workstation then displays rule entry screens in decision table format on which the program designer defines the rules relating to the processing of associated input data items. The completed decision tables are stored and together with the stored input data formats are compiled to produce computer program code for run-time execution or interpretation.
