Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus that performs a process of inputting data to a file, a process of updating data to a file, and a process of outputting data from a file.

[Prior Art] In conventional information processing using a computer, various files are stored on a disk or the like, and various files are updated based on input record data. By the way, the types of businesses of companies that introduce computers are various, and therefore, the contents of files and the contents of input records are also various. Furthermore, even in the same industry, the business content differs in each company. As described above, the contents of the file and the input records vary widely, and the contents of the output records output from the file also vary widely. Therefore, in the conventional computer, a system was designed to correspond to a variety of input records, files, and output records, and various programs were designed and created according to the contents of each business of each company. In each of these programs, what kind of file is to be updated according to the contents of the input record is described in a programming language. At this time, the update is performed in response to the input of the record from the input unit. It was necessary to write in a programming language such that a series of processing of reading a target record from a file, performing an operation, and then writing the record again to the file was performed for each input of each record.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As described above, conventionally, various programs have to be created according to the business content of each company. For example, when designing a file management system corresponding to each file, You need to design an update for the file. In this case, the structure of the records in the file and the word positions in each record are fixedly determined on the memory, and the record structure is completely different for each file. Therefore, in updating the record of the corresponding file based on the input data, it is necessary to design an update program corresponding to the record structure of the file. It took time. In particular, each company requires a very large number of files, and has been required to independently design a large number of programs for each file.

In addition, the types of slips handled by each company are extremely large, and there are various slips such as sales slips such as order slips, sales slips, and purchase slips, and various transfer slips such as travel expense settlement slips and payment slips. In addition, the form of the input record is generally different in each company, corresponding to the various slips. Therefore, the input record input processing program must be designed independently for each user's various slips, and a great deal of labor and time is required to design a system that meets the needs of each user. Was.

Further, when changing the contents of a file or the contents of an input record and an output record in order to change the contents of business, etc., each program is described as a series of processing procedures from record input to file update and output. Therefore, each program will require significant modification,
Changing the entire system was not easy, and in some cases it was necessary to start over from the system design.

An object of the present invention is to make it possible to process information in a unified and automatic manner by summarizing information, and to create a variety of industries without creating a program. It is to be able to cope with the processing of the information of business contents.

The input processing device 12 processes the data input from the input device 11 in accordance with the word content set in the input record designation memory 16, and writes a record in the created record memory 21 corresponding to the set word number. When the writing of one record is completed, the basic record generating device 13 is started. The basic record generation device 13 converts the created record written in the created record memory 21 into a basic record according to the setting contents of the basic record designation memory 17, and writes the converted basic record into the basic record memory 22. Also, a basic record generator
When the writing of one record or one slip of a plurality of records into the basic record memory 22 is completed, the update record generating device 14 is started.
The update record generation device 14 includes an update record designation memory 18
The update record is generated from the basic record based on the setting contents of, and is written in the update record memory. The update record written in the update record memory 23 includes a file keyword, one or a plurality of record keywords, details of the update, and a data word.

The file update processing device 15 includes an update record generation device 14
, Or, in the case of batch processing, by an update instruction command from the input device 11 and based on the update records stored in the update record memory 23, that is, the file keyword and the record keyword of the update record. Then, the update process is performed on the record group of the corresponding file in the file memory 24 using the update memory 19. The update memory 19 is composed of, for example, a RAM and has areas A, B, and C therein and is used as a work memory.

In the file memory 24, a record group including one or a plurality of record keywords and data words is stored for each file in the order of keywords. Each record in the file stored in the file memory 24 is read by the output record generation device 25.
An output record specification memory 26 is connected to the output record generation device 25. This output record specification memory
In the field 26, designated data for creating an output record, for example, a file keyword, a search condition, a created word, a word content, and the like are set in advance by the input device 11. The output record generation device 25 is activated by an output instruction command from the input device 11, creates a record based on the settings in the output record designation memory 26, and writes the record into the created record memory 21. The created record memory
The record stored in 21 is read by the output processing device 27, output at a predetermined printing position and a predetermined firmware according to the specified data set in the output format specifying memory 28, and printed or displayed on the output device. .

Next, the operation of the embodiment will be described. When each word data of an input record is input from the input device 11 based on a slip or the like, the data is input to the input processing device 12. When the data is input, the input processing device 12 refers to the designated data in the input record designation memory 16 as shown in FIG. 2, and reads the word content corresponding to the word No. “11, 12,..., In”. "W
1, W2,..., Wn (input, index, calculation, etc.) are processed in the order of word numbers, and the processing results are processed as word data "m1, m2,..., Mn". Writing to the created record memory 21 sequentially. If the word content is "input word", the input word data is input to the word of the created record memory 21 corresponding to the word No. In the case of an "index word", the input word data, for example, code data is converted into character data by referring to an index memory (not shown) in the input processing device 12 and input to the corresponding word of the creation record memory 21. I do. In the case of the “calculation word”, the calculation is performed according to the operation between the words defined using the word No., and the data of the calculation result is input to the corresponding word in the creation word memory 21. For example, if “I1 × I2” is defined as the word content “W3”, the word data “m1” and “m” of the word No. “I1” and “I2” in the created record memory 21
2), multiply the word data and read the resulting word data
"3" is input to the input word No. "I3" of the creation word memory 21. In this way, the input processing device 12 performs processing according to the content of each word in the input record designation memory 16,
When the input of data for one record into the created record memory 21 is completed, the basic record generator 13 is started.

The basic record generation device 13 is started by an instruction from the input processing device 12 and generates a created record memory 21 based on the designated data set in the basic record designation memory 17.
A basic record is generated from the created record in the file. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, each word No. “I1, I2,
……, In ”and each word No.“ S ”in the basic record memory 22
1, S2,..., Sn] is set, and the basic record generation device 13 sets each word data “m1, m2,. , Mn] are arranged based on the designated data set in the basic record designation memory 17, or a specific word determined by the type of the input record is generated and stored in the basic record memory 22. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the word numbers “S1, S2, S3,.
…, Sn ”, the word number“ I2, I ”of the created record
When “4, I5,..., I7” is set, the word data in the created record memory 21 is changed to “m2, m4, m5,.
They are arranged in the order of “m7” and stored in the basic record memory 22 as basic records. An input instruction indicating completion of data input for one slip is input from the input device 11 to the input processing device 12,
As a result, when the basic record generation device 13 generates all the basic records for one voucher composed of one record or a plurality of records and writes them in the basic record memory 22, the update record generation device 14 is subsequently activated.

This update record generation device 14 has a basic record memory
Generate an update record based on the specified data in the update record specification memory 18 for the basic record held in 22,
The generated update record is written to the update record memory 23. In the update record designation memory 18, one or more record keywords and data words are indicated by the word numbers of the basic records as shown in FIG.
Data indicating the name of the file to be updated is previously stored and set as specified data. For example, as the designated data 18-1, “total” is used as the update content, “F2” is used as the file keyword, and “S2, S2” is used as the record keyword.
"3" is set as the data word "S5, S6, S1, S4", and shows an example in which there are two record keywords. As the designated data 18-2, “total” is used as the content of the update, and “F3” is used as the file keyword.
However, an example is shown in which “S1” is set as the record keyword and “S13, S14” are set as the data words, and there is one record keyword. In addition, data indicating any of “addition”, “deletion”, “totaling”, “correction”, and “addition / totaling” is set as the content of the update in the designated data. Then, an update record is created from the basic record in the basic record memory 22 based on the specified data. For example, for the specified data 18-1, the update content is “total” and the file keyword is “F”.
2, an update record 23-1 consisting of record keywords "m4, m5" and data words "m1, m9, m2, m6" is created. Other update records are similarly created and stored in the update record memory 23. Each word of the update record stored in the update record memory 23 is divided by delimiter codes "," and ";", and each update record is variable-length data divided by a delimiter code "(". The record configuration consists of the record delimiter code "("
Is the word indicating "contents of the update", the next word is the word indicating the file keyword, and one or more words from the next word to the delimiter code ";" (each word is (Separated by a delimiter code “,”) is a record keyword. Further, each word following the delimiter code ";" is a data word.

The update record in the update record memory 23 is the fifth
In the example of FIG. 5A, as described above, the case where the “contents of the update” is provided as data of one word is shown. In addition, for example, as shown in FIG. Content may be provided. That is, in FIG.
In the case of “totaling”, a sign “+” or “−” for adding or subtracting is added to the data word to be counted, and in the case of “correction”, the correction code “ "*", And if "Delete", only the record keyword without the data word, and "Add"
If so, add a record keyword and a data word.
In other words, if the update record is composed of only the file keyword and the record keyword, it is "deleted". , "Add" if unmatched, and check the data word if the record keyword matches, "+" or "-"
If so, it is determined to be “total”, and if “*” is present, it is determined to be “correction”, and an update process is performed based on the result of the determination.

Also, as shown in FIG. 6 (a), a large number of records composed of record keywords and data words are stored in the file memory 24 in the order of file keywords and in the same file in the order of record keywords. , “§” is a file separation code, “(” is a record separation code, “,” is a word separation code, and “;” is a separation code indicating a boundary between a record keyword and a data word. "F1", "F2", ...
Indicates a file keyword, and "m" indicates variable-length data consisting of the number of bytes corresponding to the length of valid data. In the file memory 24, each word and record are completely filled with only existing information. Is housed. The number of record keywords is the same in each file, and is 3 words in file F1 and 2 words in file F2. In the above example, the delimiter code ";" is used between the record keyword and the data word,
Without using the delimiter code ";", a predetermined word from the beginning of each record is uniquely defined as a keyword, and the file update processing device 15 performs processing by regarding the predetermined word from the beginning of each record as a keyword. May be performed. If the number of record keywords is defined in advance for each file and the number is set in the memory, the number of keywords may differ for each file.
FIG. 6 (b) shows still another storage form of records in the file memory 24. One or a plurality of words separated from the beginning of each record by the first delimiter code "." These words are indicated by a delimiter code “,”, and these words indicate record keywords. The data after the first delimiter code "." Are data words, and each word is separated by the delimiter code ".". In the embodiment, the record keyword is naturally located at the beginning of the record. However, the record keyword may be located anywhere as long as its position is determined.

Thus, the file update processing device 15 is activated by a command from the update record generation device 14 or an update instruction command from the input device 11, and executes the file update process shown in the flowchart of FIG. That is, the file update processing device 15 sorts the update records in the update record memory 23 in the order of the file keywords and in the order of the record keywords (step A1).

Next, all update records of the same file keyword in the update record memory 23 are read out, and
Write in the area (step A2). In addition, file memory 24
Then, all the records of the corresponding file keywords are read out and written into the area B of the update memory 19 (step A3).
Then, the record keywords of the records in the area A and the area B in the update memory 19 are sequentially compared, and the updated record in the area A and the corresponding record in the area B are updated according to the contents of the update (step A4). The updated record or the record not to be updated in the B area is written in the C area in the update memory 19 in the order of keywords,
When all the updating processes in the areas A and B of the updating memory 19 are completed, the updated record held in the area C of the updating memory 19 is written to a new storage area of the file memory 24 (step A5). ). Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the update processing of the update records for all the file keywords stored in the update record memory 23 has been completed (step A6). If not completed, the process returns to step A2 to return to step A2. An update process is performed on the update record. Hereinafter, similarly, Step A2
When the processing for all update records in the update record memory 23 is performed by the processing of A6, the file update processing ends.

An update process according to the update content of the update record in step A4 will be described. Update content is "Add"
If so, the record composed of the record keyword and the data word of this update record is inserted into the records in the area B read from the file memory 24 in the order of the record keywords. In the case of "delete"
The record in the B area that matches the record keyword of the update record is deleted. In this case, by specifying only the upper word of the record keyword or only the upper digit of the record keyword, B
It is also possible to delete all records in the area. When the content of the update is “total”, the data indicated by the data word of the update record is added to the data word of the records in the area B that matches the record keyword of the update record, and the data is totaled. If the data of the data word of the update record is negative, the data is subtracted and counted. When the content of the update is “correction”, the word corresponding to the data word of the update record among the words of the record in the B area that matches the record keyword of the update record is represented by the word data indicated by the data word of the update record. To correct. If the content of the update is “addition / aggregation”, the record that matches the record keyword of the update record is B
If it is within the area, perform the same processing as the “totaling” described above,
If not, the same process as “addition” described above is performed.

As described above, the record input by the input device 11 is updated to each file in the file memory 24.
FIG. 8 shows an example of a file stored in the file memory 24. In the figure, the first word of each record indicated by the word No. “01” is a record keyword, and specifically, a product code is stored as a record keyword. Word No. "11", "1" for each record
2 ", the words indicated by ... are data words,
“Unit price”, “quantity”... Are stored. Each word data is variable-length data. A word delimiter code “,” is inserted between words, and a record delimiter code “(” is inserted at the head of a record. The product code used as the record keyword of each record has, for example, the code system shown in Fig. 9, and the product codes "111", "112", ... are the product names " Wristwatch A "," Watch B ", etc. The commodity code in Fig. 9 also represents the large classification and middle classification of each commodity, and the upper two digits of the commodity code are common codes, For example, "11" indicates "watch", "12" indicates "clock", and the upper one digit of the product code is a common code, for example, "1" indicates "clock" and "2" indicates "calculator". ing.
That is, codes used as record keywords such as product codes are weighted in order from the upper digit of each code in accordance with the large classification, the middle classification, and so on. A record having a plurality of record keywords is weighted in order from the record keyword at the head of the record. Further, the code used as the record keyword is variable length data, for example, the product code "112".
New product name "Watch B _a " between the product code "113"
If the user wants to set the product code, the product code may be set to “1121”, and it is easy to add a new record. By the way, as mentioned above, the file memory
The record corresponding to the product code is stored in 24, but no record regarding the major classification, the middle classification, etc. of each product code is stored, and the word data of the total amount is stored in each record. However, these necessary records and word data are arbitrarily generated by an output record generation device 25 described below.

FIG. 10 shows an example of designated data in the output record designation memory 26. Fig. 11 shows the output record generator
25 is a flowchart showing the operation of FIG. 25. According to the designated data in the output record designation memory 26, an output record as shown in FIG. 12 is generated based on the record in the file memory 24 shown in FIG. Creation record memory 21
Is stored in Hereinafter, an operation of generating an output record will be described.

The output record designation memory 26 has a file memory 24
In order to search and read a predetermined file and record from, in addition to the file keyword and search conditions being set as specified data, as shown in FIG. 10, a creation word of an output record is set together with the word content, Further, in order to generate an output record corresponding to the weight of the record keyword, a creation unit 3, a creation unit 2,
The designation corresponding to the creation unit 1 is made. For the creation word, any number of words required as an output record can be specified, and in this example, the word numbers of the creation word ".1", ".2", ".3" are the records of the output record The keywords are “a01>
1 ","a01> 2 ", and" a01 <3 ". "A" in the word content "a01>1" means a record retrieved and read from the file memory 24 (hereinafter, referred to as a source record), and "a01" is the word number of the source record.
Means the word "01". In addition, output records can be totaled at an arbitrary level by using a higher-level record keyword, and output records can be generated at each level. FIG. 10 shows an example of totaling up to three levels. Abbreviation). The creation unit 3 is a designation of the lowermost output record created based on the source record.
This is a specification of the output records that are totaled in the higher hierarchy based on the output records created by the specification of the above. The creation unit 1 is totalized in a higher hierarchy based on the output records created by the specification of the creation unit 2. Output record specification. The record keyword of the output record of the creation unit 3 has a record keyword for three words indicated by the word contents corresponding to the creation words “.1”, “.2”, and “.3”. .1 ”and“ .2 ”have record keywords for two words, and the creation unit 1 has a record keyword for one word represented by word contents of“ .1 ”. For example, the record keywords for creation unit 3 are “.1”, “.2”, “.3”
Word contents "a01>1","a01>2","a0" corresponding to
Since 1 <3 ”, the first word“ .1 ”of the record keyword means that the first digit of the word data of the word number“ 01 ”of the source record is read and set, and the second word“ .1 ”is set. .2 means that the second digit of the word data of word number "01" is set, and the third word ".3" means that all the third and lower digits of the word data of word number "01" are set. I do. "B" in the word content "b.1 / T" means the created output record, and "b.1" is the word number of the output record.
Indicates that the word data of “.1” is to be read, so the word content “b.1 / T” set corresponding to the created word “11” is the word data of the word number “.1” of the output record. This is designation data indicating that the corresponding data is read out from the table memory T (not shown) and is used as the word data of the word No. “11” of the output record of the creation unit 1. Specifically, a product name corresponding to the product code read from the word “.1” is read from the table memory T and written into the output record as word data of the word No. “11”. Further, the creation word 11 corresponding to the creation unit 2 includes the word content “b.1 &
b.2 / T ”is set. This is done by combining the word data of the word numbers“ .1 ”and“ .2 ”of the output record and responding from the table memory T with the result. This specifies that the data to be read is read and is used as the word data of the word No. “11” of the output record of the creation unit 2. Word N of output record of creation unit 3
o. In “11”, “a01 / T” is set as the word content, and the result is referred to the table memory T based on the data of the word number “01” in the source record and the result is stored in the word
It is stored as the word data of No. “11”. Hereinafter, when “1” is designated in each creation unit corresponding to the creation words “12”, “13”, “14”,..., Word data is created according to the contents of each word. Note that the created word "c1" is a console word, which is used for temporarily storing the created word, and later performing calculations between units based on this word.

Hereinafter, the operation of the output record generation device 25 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. Prior to the processing shown in this flowchart, a record group that matches a specified file keyword and a search condition (for example, a condition that a specific word is equal to or more than a specific value) is read from the file memory 24 to the created record memory 21. It has been issued. In the following example, it is assumed that all records of the file shown in FIG. In step B1 in FIG. 11, the lowermost unit n, for example, the specified data of the unit 3 in the example of FIG. 10 is read from the output record specifying memory 26, and each word data of the output record is created based on the specified data. . For example, in the file memory 24 of FIG.
An output record “1,1,1, watch A, 1000,50,50000 ,,” is created using the record indicated by “0,...” As the source record. The word of word No. "15" of this output record is not created at this time. Hereinafter, an output record is created from all the source records based on the designated data of the unit 3 and written to the created record memory 21. In the next step B2, the output records are sorted in the order of the record keywords, and if there is the same record keyword, each data word is regarded as one output record obtained by totaling. Thus, an output record corresponding to the unit 3 is created and stored in the created record memory 21 as an output record file f3 as shown in FIG. 11 (a). Then, in step B3, it is determined whether or not there is designation data for the next unit. If there is, in step B4, the designated data corresponding to the unit 2 in the output record designation memory 26 is converted from the output record in the output record file f3. Create an output record based on it. For example, in the creation words No. "13" and "14", "1" indicating the summation to the higher rank unit is specified.
Word No. "13", "14" of the output record of Renit 3
The words obtained by summing the word data of No. 2 are used as the word data of the word Nos. "13" and "14" of the output record of Renit 2. In step B5, the operation in the unit, for example, the data of the word No. "14" created in the unit 2 is stored in the console word "c1". Hereinafter, the processing of steps B3, B4 and B5 is performed in accordance with the designation of each unit, and the output record file generated for each unit is stored in the creation record memory 21 as shown in FIGS. 11 (b) and 11 (c). f2, f1
Is stored. When it is determined in step B3 that there is no next designated renit, the process proceeds to step B6, and the computation between the renits is performed. This calculation is performed, for example, on the word of the word No. “15” of the output record of the creation unit 3, the word created by the creation unit 2, for example, the console word “c1”
Is used to calculate the ratio and the like, and the calculation result is stored as the word data of each record of the creation unit 3. Then, in step B7, all output records in the created record memory 21 are rearranged in the order of the unit. This sort is done by the words `` .1 '', `` .2 '', ``.
It sorts in ascending order based on the record keywords in "3", and the result is as shown in FIG. In this example, the uppermost renits are arranged in the order, but they may be arranged in the order of the lower renits, or may be in the order of the designated renits.

In the above-described example, the output record of the upper unit is created based on the specified data in the output record specifying memory 26. However, a record corresponding to the upper unit may be stored in the file memory 24 in advance. In this case, when designating the creation of an update record in the update record designation memory 18, a record keyword corresponding to the above-described upper unit is designated, and the update record generator 14 responds to the upper unit based on the designation. May be created. In this case, the later file update processor
By the update processing of 15, a record corresponding to the upper unit is created in the file memory 24 as shown in FIG. In the same figure, the word No. "01", "02", "03"
Are record keywords, and each record is stored in the order of the record keywords. No.
FIGS. 13 (b) and 13 (c) show other storage modes of each record shown in FIG. 13 (a).
"01" stores data indicating the level of a renit, and word No. "02" stores a keyword in each renit. FIG. 9C shows an example in which a plurality of types of delimiter codes for each record are provided corresponding to the renits.
In FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, space data is inserted so as to clarify the correspondence between word numbers and word data. However, in the actual storage state, there is no space data, and The word data is stored by being separated by a delimiter code and packed.

Each record created in the creation record memory 21 as described above is converted into a basic record by the processing of the basic record generation device 13 as necessary, and is updated again by the update record generation device 14 and the file update processing device 15 in the file memory. You can update the files in 24. Further, each record created in the created record memory 21 is read out by the output processing device 27, and is displayed or printed on the output device 29 together with a ruled line form indicating a book table or the like based on the designated data in the output format designation memory 28. Is output.
Hereinafter, the output processing of the book table and the like will be described.

FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of designated data in the output format designation memory 28, in which a word No. and a ruled line to be outputted are designated corresponding to the output record of each unit. The ruled lines indicate the start point of X, corresponding to one screen of one page of display or printing.
Indicated by Y coordinate, length is X direction (right direction) and Y
The length is indicated by each length in the direction (downward), and the line type is specified for each of the upper side, lower side, left side, and right side corresponding to the four sides determined by the start point and the length. As the line type, "0" is not printed, "1" is a thick line, "2" is a medium thick line, "3" is a thin line,
"4" designates each side by a dotted line, 5 designates an alternate long and short dash line,... For example, the line type (1010) specifies that the upper side is a thick line, the lower side is not output, the left side is a thick line, and the right side is not output. To explain the example of the designated data shown in FIG. 14, the ruled line of the output record of the unit 1 is the starting point (X ₁₁ , Y ₁₁ ) corresponding to the output of the word data of the word No. “11” of the output record. The upper side and the left side are output as thick lines at positions determined by the length (l ₁₁ , m ₁₁ ), and the output in the state shown in FIG. Furthermore, corresponding to the output of the word data of word No. “14”, the upper side is output as a thick line and the left side is output as a thin line at a position determined by the starting point (X ₁₂ , Y ₁₂ ) and the length (l ₁₂ , m ₁₂ ). When combined with the output of the word No. "11", the output in the state shown in FIG. In the same manner, the output states shown in FIGS. 8C to 8K are designated based on the designation data of each unit. The word data output together with the ruled line is read from the output record in the creation record memory 21 as the word data of the specified word number in the output format specification memory 28. The output position of the read word data is It is assumed that each word is specified corresponding to the specified data of the ruled line (not shown). In particular, when the word data is characters, the output position is specified based on the upper digit of the character string, and when the data is numeric, the output position is specified based on the lower digit of the numerical string.

Next, the processing operation of the output processing device 27 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In step C1, the word data and ruled lines of the heading portion (not shown) designated in advance in the output format designation memory 28 are printed as shown in FIG. Next, in the process of step C2, the head output record is read from the created record memory 21, and further, in step C3, the specified data of the unit corresponding to the unit of this output record is read from the output format specifying memory 28, and this specification is performed. Word data of the output record specified by each word number of data is created for one record together with a ruled line corresponding to each word number and output to the output device 29. The print state in this case is shown in FIG. 15 (b). As shown in FIG. 15, the word numbers "11", "14", "13" of the first record in the created record memory 21 in FIG. Is printed together with the ruled line. Thereafter, the processes of steps C2 and C3 are repeated until all output records in the created record memory 21 are output, and FIG. 15 (c) and (d).
Printed as shown in When it is detected in step C4 that there is no output record, in step C5, the underline is printed with a length corresponding to the horizontal ruled line of the renit 1 and a thick line according to the line type of the renit 1. In specifying the printing position of the ruled line in the output format memory 28, the Y coordinate of each starting point only needs to specify the output position of the first record as a reference value. Each time one row is output, the Y coordinate of the reference value is sequentially updated by the length of one row in the Y direction, and the updated value is used as the Y coordinate of each word. Further, when outputting to the next page, the Y coordinate is returned to the reference value, and thereafter every time one line is printed, the Y coordinate is updated in the same manner as described above. In the same manner, the print position of the data need only be specified by using the output position of the first record as the reference value.

In the above example, the output of each word data and the ruled lines surrounding the four sides of each word data has been described. However, the output of the record data for one row and the ruled lines surrounding the four sides of the record data must be collectively specified in record units. Can also. That is, the output position of the record data and the output position of the ruled line surrounding the four sides of the record data are set in the output format memory 28, and the output processing device 27 sets the record data and the output data at the position indicated by the designated data in the output format memory 28. Outputs ruled line data. In this output, the output position of each data in the Y direction is automatically updated by the length of one line in the Y direction each time one line is output based on the output position of the first record in one page. Output to the next line sequentially. At this time, 1
To output vertical ruled lines that delimit each word of the record data for a row, the output position of each vertical ruled line and its line type are specified. Furthermore, if the output position of the ruled line or the type of the ruled line is made different for each unit of the record data, when the data is printed on a book or the like, each data is arranged for each unit and is easy to see. What is necessary is just to set the output position of the ruled line or the specified data indicating the type of the ruled line in the output format specifying memory 28 for the record for each unit.

In step C3 in FIG. 15, a ruled line is printed together with the data. The data is printed at a position close to the lower ruled line with respect to the ruled line. FIG. 16 shows FIGS.
FIG. 4D is a partially enlarged view of the printing state diagram of FIG. 4D, wherein a gap H between data and an upper ruled line and a gap L between data and a lower ruled line are H: L = 2: 1.
This state is an optimal example, but it is sufficient if at least H> L. In order to perform printing in this manner, the Y of the designated data in the output format designation memory 28 is used.
From the length p of the ruled line for one line in the direction and the length q in the vertical direction of the character pattern of the data, H = (p−q) × 2/3, L = (p
After calculating -q) / 3 in the process of step C3, data is output based on the calculated H and L.
