Abstract
Abstract Global title translation services or programs are generated by using service independent building blocks (200). A graphical editor or interface (300) may be used to select and link icon representations (302) of service independent building blocks previously defined to perform discrete functions associated with global title translation. The linked service independent building blocks form a logic program (220) which is then interpreted to generate a C++ equivalent executable program (241).
