fourth generation language
(4GL, or "report generator language") An "application specific" language, one with built-in knowledge of an href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=application domain">application domain, in the way that href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=SQL">SQL has built-in knowledge of the href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=relational">relational database domain. The term was invented by Jim Martin to refer to href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=non-procedural">non-procedural href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=high level languages">high level languages built around href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=database">database systems. Fourth generation languages are close to href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=natural language">natural language and were built with the concept that certain applications could be generalised by adding limited programming ability to them. When given a description of the data format and the report to generate, a 4GL system produces href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=COBOL">COBOL (or other 3GL) code, that actually reads and processes the data and formats the results. Some examples of 4GL are: href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=database query language">database query language e.g.href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=SQL">SQL href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=Focus">Focus, href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=Metafont">Metafont, href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=PostScript">PostScript, href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=S">S, href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=IDL-PV">IDL-PV, href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=WAVE">WAVE, href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=Gauss">Gauss, href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=Mathematica">Mathematica, and href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=data-stream languages">data-stream languages such as href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=AVS">AVS, href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=APE">APE, href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=Iris Explorer">Iris Explorer.
