Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a source program management device and method for managing a source program and its modification history data, and a storage medium used for the same.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional program management includes, for example,
When a program needs to be changed due to a bug or function improvement that occurs after the computer system has been activated, a change instruction is created, the program change is examined, and when the change is found, the contents of the change instruction are The program is changed based on the above, a comment is added to the changed part, and a hard copy of the changed part is output as evidence that the change was made according to the change instruction, and the test result after the change is the content of the change instruction At the time when the condition was satisfied, a hard copy of the changed part was attached to the change order and filed.

[0003] However, since the program change history management is manually performed by an individual, the comments at the time of the change are forgotten, the change history becomes unknown, or the program source library is destroyed. There was a problem that it was not possible to respond to bugs and improvements / additions of functions.

As a conventional technique for solving this problem, according to Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-161736, when a program is changed, a program stored in a program storage unit is replaced with the changed program, and the program is changed. By registering information in the change history registration unit so that information can be output as necessary, the change history management of the program can be centrally automated, eliminating management mistakes, and dramatically responding to destruction and change of the program source library. An improved program change history management method has been proposed.

In addition, when there are a plurality of other source programs using a certain source program and a part of a certain source program is changed, it is necessary to make the same change in a corresponding portion of the other source program. However, there is a problem that it takes time to manage which part of which program has been diverted.

As a conventional technique for solving this problem, according to Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 5-61666, if a single source program is modified, if the modification of a part diverted from that program is made, the diverted source There has been proposed a source program creating apparatus capable of automatically modifying all program parts.

Conventionally, when a source program is modified in system development, a development library that allows the developer to update the source program to be modified from a production library storing the latest source program upon request from the developer. Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2 discloses a system in which a pay-out operation for copying data into a library and a registration operation for storing the latest source program after correction in a production library are performed artificially.
According to Japanese Patent No. 28370, an SI management library, a correction history library, a production library, a latest library, and the like are provided. There has been proposed an SI management method for preventing the quality from being deteriorated.

[0008]

Problems to be Solved by the Invention Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-16173
In the prior art described in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 6-206, the change history information of one source program is managed as a change history list or a change data list. From the change history list or the change data list, it is possible to confirm the changed portion and the reason for the change one by one.

However, the change history list or the change data list is, in other words, a design change document. In this design change document, for example, one source program is stored over a plurality of files for each function or purpose, and each file is stored. When the source program that has been changed due to the factors described above is changed again,
It is not configured to automatically search for which file and which program data part is related. Therefore, there is a problem that the change correspondence file and the changed portion cannot be easily searched for at the time of changing the program.

In the prior art described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-66666, when a part of one source program is changed, the same change is made to a corresponding part of another source program diverted from the source program. It can be carried out. However, when the changed portion of the source program is changed again, the changed portion is not configured to be automatically searched for in relation to which file (other source program) and which portion, so the related changed portion is not changed. There is a problem that cannot be easily searched.

Further, according to the prior art disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-228370, it is possible to centrally manage the paying out work and the registering work of the latest source program.
However, when the changed part of the source program is changed again, it is not configured so that the changed part can be automatically searched in relation to which part of the source program, so that the related changed part can be easily searched. There is a problem that can not be.

Generally, most source programs except for very small source programs are managed by being divided into a plurality of files for each function or use. Therefore, changes based on one factor are also stored in a plurality of files. There are many cases in which they straddle. Therefore, when one source program is divided into a plurality of files for each function or purpose, and when a changed portion of the source program that has been changed in association with a certain factor for each file is changed or added again, the changed portion is There is a need for a source program management device having a source program change history management function that can automatically search for which file is in which part.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances. For example, a source program classified into a plurality of files according to functions or uses and correction data of a file to be corrected according to the same correction factor may be used. With the configuration in which the same correction ID is added and stored in the storage unit, simply by specifying the correction ID, all the correction data of the correction location of the desired corrected file is automatically searched from the storage unit and the related information is obtained. And a source program management method and a storage medium used for the source program management method and the source program management method, which can collectively check and re-correct.

[0014]
