Abstract

See full text

A method and system are disclosed which permits the self modification of data stream constructs by the utilization of one or more macro definitions, each of which includes a plurality of parameters, at least one of which is modifiable. A modify parameter structured field is included within a selected macro definition and identifies a particular parameter within the macro definition which may be modified. Subsequent invocation of the macro definition may include selective identification of a parameter to be modified. If the identified parameter has been specified as modifiable by the macro definition, the parameter is modified and the macro definition is thereby altered. In this manner the present method permits the utilization of a single macro definition by multiple processes within a data stream.
