Abstract
Structured programming is a new method for constructing reliable programs. Structured programming relies upon a systematic technique of top-down development which involves the refinement of both control structures and data structures. With possibly some limitations and extensions, existing languages can support control structure refinement. On the other hand, it is the belief of many that the representation of data structure refinement cannot be satified by present-day languages. Before accepting this view, it is wise to explore its validity. Therefore this thesis will investigate whether existing languages with possibly slight modifications are adequate for supporting the data requirements of structured programming.
