Abstract:
A utility for generating computer code for a calendaring function at a selected location in a computer program edited on a computer system, comprising:means for presenting a choice of calendaring functions on a display screen of said computer system;means for selecting said calendaring function from said choice of calendaring functions;means for presenting a choice of first-level parameter values associated with said calendaring function wherein said first-level parameter values possibly includes both terminal parameter values and non-terminal parameter values;means for selecting a first-level parameter value from said choice of first-level parameter values;means for generating said computer code for said calendaring function with said first-level parameter value at said selected location in said computer program;means for presenting a choice of second-level parameter values if said first-level parameter value is one of said non-terminal parameters; andmeans for selecting a second-level parameter value from said choice of second-level parameter values if said first-level parameter value is one of said non-terminal parameter values, and wherein said means for generating generates computer code for said calendaring function with said second-level parameter value, if said first-level parameter value is one of said non-terminal parameter values.
