Next, the operation of the embodiment will be described. Input device 1
When each word data of the input record is input from 1 based on the slip or the like, this 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 refers to the word contents “11, 12, ... W1, W2, ..., Wn (input,
Each word data input according to (index, calculation, etc.) "is processed in the order of word No., and the processed result is sequentially written in the created record memory 21 as word data" m1, m2, ..., mn ". When 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 number. In the case of the “index word”, an index memory (not shown) in the input processing device 12 is referred to, and the input word data, for example, code data is converted into character data and is input to the corresponding word in the created record memory 21. . In the case of "calculation word", calculation is performed according to the calculation between words defined using the word number, and the data of the calculation result is input to the corresponding word of the created word memory 21. For example, when the word content “W3” is defined as “I1 × I2”, the word N in the created record memory 21
o. The word data “m1” and “m2” of “I1” and “I2” are read out and multiplied, and the resulting word data “m3” is created.
3 ”. In this way, the input processing device 12
When the processing according to the content of each word in the input record designation memory 16 is performed and the input of the data for one record into the created record memory 21 is completed, the basic record generation device 1
Start 3.

The basic record generating device 13 is activated by an instruction from the input processing device 12 and generates a basic record from the created record in the created record memory 21 based on the designated data set in the basic record designation memory 17. Do. That is, the basic record designation memory 1
7, each word No. “I1, I2, ..., In” of the created record memory 21 and each word h “S1, S2, ...
The designated record indicating the correspondence relationship with "Sn" is set, and the basic record generation device 13 sets the created record memory 2
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 basic record word numbers “S1, S2, S
3, ..., Sn ”corresponding to the word number of the created record
When “I2, I4, I5, ..., I7” is set, the word data in the created record memory 21 is set to “m
2, m4, m5, ..., M7 ”are arranged in this order and stored in the basic record memory 22 as basic records. An input instruction indicating the completion of inputting data for one voucher is input from the input device 11 to the input processing device 12, and as a result, the basic record generating device 13 outputs all basic data for one voucher including one record or a plurality of records. After the record is generated and written in the basic record memory 22, the update record generating device 14 is activated thereafter.

The update record generating device 14 generates an update record of the basic record held in the basic record memory 22 based on the designation data of the update record designation memory 18, and stores the generated update record in the update record memory 23. Write. In the update record designation memory 18, as shown in FIG. 4, one or a plurality of record keywords and data words are indicated by the word No. of the basic record, and the update contents and the data indicating the file name of the update target are designated data. Is stored and set in advance. For example, as the designated data 18-1, “total” is set as the content of the update.
, "F2" is set as the file keyword, "S2, S3" is set as the record keyword, and "S5, S6, S1, S4" are set as the data words, and an example in which there are two record keywords is shown. . In addition, as the designated data 18-2, “total” is set as the content of the update.
, "F3" as the file keyword, "S1" as the record keyword, and "S1" as the data word.
3, S14 ”is set and there is one record keyword. Further, data indicating any one of "addition", "deletion", "counting", "correction", and "addition / counting" is set as the content of 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 “F2”. , Record keyword “m4, m5”, data word is “m
Update record 23-1 consisting of "1, m9, m2, m6"
Is created. The 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 the delimiter code “(”. The structure of the record is such that the first word following the record delimiter code "(" is a word indicating "update content", the next word is a word indicating a file keyword, and from the next word to the delimiter code ";" One or a plurality of words (each word is divided by a delimiter code “,”) is a record keyword, and each word following the delimiter code “;” is a data word.

In the example shown in FIG. 5A, the update record in the update record memory 23 shows the case where "update content" is stored as one word of data, as described above. May have update contents as shown in FIG. 5B, for example. That is, FIG.
Then, if it is “aggregate”, add or subtract sign “+” or “−” is added to the data word to be aggregated, and if it is “correction”, it is corrected in the data word to be aggregated. The code "*" is added, and if it is "delete", only the record keyword is added without adding a data word,
If it is “add”, add the record keyword and data word. In other words, if the update record is composed of the file keyword and the record keyword only, “delete”, when the file update processing device 15 performs update processing,
If there is no record of the same record keyword as the record keyword of the update record in the file memory 24 and it is unmatching, "add" is added, and if the record keywords match, the data word is checked and "+" or "-" is displayed. If there is any, it is determined to be “total”, and if there is “*”, it is determined to be “corrected”, and update processing is performed based on the determination result.

Further, the file memory 24 is shown in FIG.
As shown in (a), a number of records consisting of record keywords and data words are stored in the order of file keywords, and in the same file in the order of record keywords. In FIG. () Is a record delimiter code, “,” is a word delimiter code, and “;” is a delimiter code indicating a boundary between a record keyword and a data word.
"1", "F2", ... is the file keyword, "m"
.. indicates variable-length data composed of the number of bytes according to the length of the valid data, and in the file memory 24, each word and record is completely filled with only existing information. The number of record keywords is the same in each file, and is 3 words in the file F1 and 2 words in the file F2. In the above example, the delimiter code ";" is used between the record keyword and the data word, but without using the delimiter code ";", a predetermined word from the beginning of each record is uniquely defined as a keyword, The file update processing device 15
Processing may be performed by regarding a predetermined word from the beginning of each record as a keyword. Also, define the number of record keywords for each file in advance,
If this is set in the memory, the number of keywords may differ for each file. FIG. 6B shows still another storage form of the records in the file memory 24. One or a plurality of words divided by the first division code “.” From the beginning of each record is further divided. They are separated by the code "," and these words indicate the record keyword. After the first division code “.” In the amount, data words are formed, and each word is divided by the division code “.”. Moreover, since it is natural that the record keyword is located at the head of the record in the embodiment, the record keyword may be located anywhere if its position is fixed.

Therefore, the file update processing device 15 is
It is activated by an instruction from the update record generation device 14 or an update instruction command from the input device 11, and executes the file update processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. 7. That is, the file update processing device 15 sorts the update records in the update record memory 23 in the file keyword order and the record keyword order (step A).
1).

Then, all the update records of the same file keyword in the update record memory 23 are read and written in the area A of the update memory 19 (step A2). Furthermore,
All the records of the corresponding file keyword in the file memory 24 are read and written in the area B of the update memory 19 (step A3). Then, the record keywords of the records in the areas A and B of the update memory 19 are top-compared with each other, and the record in the area B corresponding to the update record in the area A is updated according to the contents of the update (step A
4). The updated record or the record that is not the update target in the B area is written in the C area in the update memory 19 in the order of the keywords, and all the update processing in the A area and B area of the update memory 19 is completed. Then, the updated record held in the area C of the update memory 19 is written in the new storage area of the file memory 24 (step A5). Then, it is judged whether or not the update processing of the update record for all the file keywords stored in the update record memory 23 is completed (step A
6) If not completed, the process returns to step A2 to perform the update process for the update records for the remaining file keywords. Thereafter, steps A2 to A6 are similarly performed.
When the processing for all update records in the update record memory 23 is performed by the processing of, the file update processing ends.

The update processing according to the update content of the update record in step A4 will be described. If the content of the update is "addition", the record consisting of the record keyword and the data word of this update record is inserted into the record in the area B read from the file memory 24 in the order of the record keyword. . 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 designating only the high-order word of the record keyword or only the high-order digit of the record keyword, it is possible to delete all the record groups in the B area that match this designation. When the content of the update is “total”, the data indicated by the data word of the update record is added to the corresponding word among the data words of the records in the area B that match the record keyword of the update record. still,
If the data word of the update record has a negative data, the data is subtracted. If the content of the update is “correction”, the word data indicated by the data word of the update record is the word corresponding to the data word of the update record among the words of the records in the area B that match the record keyword of the update record. Correct to. If the content of the update is "addition / aggregation", the same processing as "aggregation" described above is performed if a record matching the record keyword of the update record is in the B area, and if not, the same as "addition" described above. Process.

As described above, the record input by the input device 11 is updated in each file in the file memory 24. FIG. 8 shows an example of files stored in the file memory 24. In the figure, word No.
The first word of each record indicated by "01" is a record keyword, and specifically, the product code is stored as the record keyword. Word N in each record
o. The words indicated by “11”, “12”, ... Are data words, and “unit price”, “quantity”, ... Are stored. And each word data is variable length data, word delimiter code “,” is inserted between words, record delimiter code “(” is inserted at the beginning of the record, and each record is arranged in ascending order of record keywords without gaps. The product code used as the record keyword of each record has the code system shown in, for example, Fig. 9, and the product codes "111" and "11" are stored.
2 ", ... are product names" Watch A "," Watch B ", ....
Is shown. The product code in FIG. 9 also represents the major classification and the middle classification of each product, and a code in which the upper two digits of the product code are common, for example, “11” is “wrist watch” and “1”.
"2" indicates a "clock", and the upper one digit of the product code is a common code, for example, "1" indicates a "clock" and "2" indicates a "calculator". That is, codes used as record keywords such as product codes are weighted corresponding to large classification, middle classification, etc. from the upper digit of each code. Records having a plurality of record keyword words are 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, when it is desired to set the product code of the new product name “wrist watch Ba” between the product code “112” and the product code “113”, this product code Is set to “1121”, and it is possible to easily cope with addition of a new record. By the way, although the records corresponding to the product codes are stored in the file memory 24 as described above, the records regarding the large classification, the middle classification, etc. of each product code are not stored,
Moreover, although the word data of the total amount is not stored in each record, these necessary records and word data are arbitrarily generated by the output record generation device 25 described below.

FIG. 10 shows an example of designation data in the output record designation memory 26. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the operation of the output record generation device 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. 8 and stored in the created record memory 21. The operation of generating the output record will be described below.

In the output record designation memory 26, file keywords and retrieval conditions for retrieving and reading predetermined files and records from the file memory 24 are set as designated data, and as shown in FIG. The creation word of the output record is set together with the word content, and further, in order to create the output record corresponding to the weighting of the record keyword, the designation is made according to the creation Renet 3, the creation Renit 2, and the creation Renit 1. For the created word, the words required as an output record can be specified by an arbitrary number of words. In this example, the word numbers of the created word are ".1", ".2", and ".3".
Is the record keyword of the output record, and the word contents are “a01> 1”, “a01> 2”, and “a0”, respectively.
It corresponds to 1 <3 ”. “A” in the word content “a01> 1” means a record retrieved from the file memory 24 (hereinafter referred to as a source record),
“A01” means the word of the source record word No. “01”. Further, output records can be aggregated in any hierarchy by using a higher-level record keyword, and output records can be generated in respective hierarchies. In FIG. 10, an example is shown in which up to three hierarchies are aggregated. Abbreviated). The created Renit 3 is the designation of the output record of the lowest layer created based on the source record, and the created Renit 2 is the output record aggregated to the upper layer based on the output record created by the designation of the created Renit 3. The creation Renit 1 is the specification of the output record aggregated to the higher hierarchy based on the output record created by the specification of the creation Renit 2. The record keyword of the output record of the created Renit 3 has a record keyword for 3 words indicated by the word contents corresponding to the created words “.1”, “.2”, and “.3”,
The created Renite 2 has a record keyword for two words indicated by the word contents of ".1" and ".2", and the created Renite 1 has a record keyword for one word indicated by the word contents of ".1". Have. For example, the record keywords of the created Renite 3 are “.1”, “.
2 ”, word contents“ a01> 1 ”corresponding to“ .3 ”,
Since “a01> 2” and “a01 <3”, it is necessary to read and set the first digit of the word data of the word No. “01” of the source record in the first word “.1” of the record keyword. Meaning, the second digit ".2" is the second digit of the word data of word No. "01", and the third word ".3" is the third digit of the word data of word No. "01" or less. It means to set everything. "B" of "b.1 / T" of the word contents means the created output record, and "b.1" is the word number ".1" of the output record.
Of the word content “b.
1 / T "reads the word data of the word No." .1 "of the output record, and further reads the table memory T (not shown).
Read the corresponding data from and create it.
This is designated data indicating that the word data of the word No. “11” of the output record of is set. Specifically, ".1"
The product code corresponding to the product code read from the word is read from the table memory T and written in the output record as the word data of the word No. “11”. Further, the word content "b.1 & b.2 / T" is set in the created word 11 corresponding to the created Renit 2, which is the word number ".1" and the word number ".1" of the output record. ．
It is specified that each word data of "2" is combined, the corresponding data is read from the table memory T as a result, and this is used as the word data of the word No. "11" of the output record of the creation Renite 2. . Create Renit 3
"A01 / T" is set as the word content in the word No. "11" of the output record of the above, and the table memory T is referred by referring to the data of the word No. "01" of the source record. The result is stored as word data of word No. “11”. Below, the creation word "1
When "1" is designated in each creation unit corresponding to "2", "13", "14" ..., Word data is created according to each word content. The creation word "c
"1" is a console word, which is used when the created word is temporarily stored and later the operation between Renits is performed based on this word.

The operation of the output record generating device 25 will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG. Prior to the processing shown in this flowchart, a record group that matches a designated file keyword and a search condition (for example, a condition that a certain specific word is a certain value or more) is transferred from the file memory 24 to the created record memory 21. It has been read. In the following example, it is assumed that all the records in the file shown in FIG. 8 have been read into the created record memory 21. In step B1 of FIG. 11, the designation data of the lowest rank unit n, for example, the unit 3 in the example of FIG. 10, is read from the output record designation memory 26, and each word data of the output record is created based on this designation data. For example, the record indicated by "111, 1000, 50, ..." In the file memory 24 of FIG.
Wristwatch A, 1000, 50, 50000, "is created. 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 Renite 3, and is written in 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 aggregated into one output record. As described above, the output record corresponding to the Renite 3 is created and stored in the created record memory 21 as the output record file f3 as shown in FIG. Then, in step B3, it is determined whether or not there is designated data relating to the next RENIT, and if there is, the output record in the output record file f3 is changed to designated data corresponding to RENIT 2 in the output record designation memory 26 in step B4. Create an output record based on it. For example, create word No. “1
In “3” and “14”, since “1” indicating the summation to the higher ranks is designated, the word obtained by summing the word data of the word Nos. “13” and “14” of the output record of the Renite 3 is the Renite 2 Output record word No.
The word data is "13" and "14". Step B
In 5, the operation in Renit, for example, the data of word No. “14” created in Renito 2 is converted into console word “c”.
1 ”. Thereafter, the processes of steps B3, B4, and B5 are performed according to the designation of each renitt, and as shown in FIG.
As shown in (b) and (c), the created record memory 21 has output record files f generated for each rennit.
2, f1 is stored. If it is determined in step B3 that there is no next specified renitt, the process moves to step B6, and the calculation between renits is performed. This calculation is, for example, a calculation of a ratio using the word created by the creation Renit 2, for example, the console word “c1”, on the word of the word No. “15” of the output record of the creation Renit 3, and the operation result. Is stored as the word data of each record of the created Renite 3. Then, in step B7, all the output records in the created record memory 21 are rearranged in the order of the Renito. This rearrangement is performed in ascending order based on the record keywords in the words ".1", ".2", and ".3" of the output record.
As shown in. In this example, the upper rank knitting is arranged in the order, but the lower rank knitting may be performed, or the specified rank knitting may be performed.

In the above example, the output record designation memory 2
Although the output record of the upper rank is created based on the designated data in 6, the record corresponding to the upper rank can be stored in the file memory 24 in advance.
In this case, when the creation of the update record is specified in the update record specification memory 18, the record keyword corresponding to the above-mentioned upper rank is specified, and the update record generation device 14 corresponds to the upper rank based on the specification. You may create an update record that In this case, a record corresponding to the upper rank unit is created in the file memory 24 by the subsequent update process of the file update processing device 15, as shown in FIG. In the figure, word No.
The words "01", "02", and "03" are record keywords, and each record is arranged and stored in the order of the record keywords. FIGS. 13B and 13C show another storage form of each record shown in FIG. 13A, and in FIG. 13B, the word No. “01” is data indicating the level of the unit. Is stored, and the word No. “02” stores the keyword in each Renite. FIG. 6C shows an example in which a plurality of delimiter codes for each record are provided in correspondence with the Renite. 12 and 13, the space data is inserted so that the correspondence between the word number and the word data is made clear, but in the actual storage state, there is no space data and word data of variable length is used. Are stored by being separated by a division code and packed.

The record memory 21 created as described above
Each record created in the above is converted into a basic record by the processing of the basic record generation device 13 as necessary,
Update record generating device 14 and file update processing device 1
5 can update the file in the file memory 24 again. Further, the created record memory 21
Each of the records created in (1) is read by the output processing device 27, and is displayed or printed out by the output device 29 together with the ruled line form indicating the book table or the like based on the designated data in the output style designation memory 28. The output processing of the book table and the like will be described below.

FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of designation data in the output style designation memory 28. The word number and ruled line to be output are designated in correspondence with the output record of each Renite. The ruled line indicates the starting point by X and Y coordinates corresponding to one screen of one page of display or printing, and the length is the length in the X direction (right direction) and Y direction (downward direction) from the starting point. The line type is designated for each of the upper side, the lower side, the left side, and the right side corresponding to the four sides determined by the starting point and the length. As for the line type, "0" is not printed, "1" is for teaching, "2" is for medium thick line, "3" is for thin line, "4" is for dotted line, 5 is for dash-dotted line, etc. specify. 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. Explaining the example of the designated data shown in FIG. 14, the ruled line of the output record of Renite 1 corresponds to the output of the word data of the word No. “11” of the output record and the start point (X11, Y11) and the length ( l11, m
The upper side and the left side are output with thick lines at the position determined in 11), and the output in the state shown in FIG. Furthermore, word No.
Corresponding to the output of the word data of "14", the start point (X12,
Y12) and the length (l12, m12) are output as a thick image on the upper side and a thin line on the left side at a position determined by Y12) and the output of the word No. “11”. specify. Similarly, the output states shown in (c) to (k) of the same figure are designated based on the designation data of each Renite. As for the word data output together with the ruled line, the word data of the designated word No. in the output format designation memory 28 is read from the output record in the created record memory 21, but the output position of the read word data is It is assumed that the word is designated corresponding to the ruled line designation data of each word (not shown). In particular, if the word data is a character, the output position is specified based on the upper digit of the character string, and if the word data is a number, the output position is specified based on the lower digit of the number string.

Next, the processing operation of the output processing device 27 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. Step C1
In, the word data and ruled lines of the heading portion (not shown) designated in advance in the output style designation memory 28 are printed as shown in FIG. Next, in the processing of step C2, the first output record is read from the created record memory 21, and further, in step C3, the specified data of the renitt corresponding to the renit of this output record is read from the output format specification memory 28, and this specified. The word data of the output record designated by each word number of the data is created for one record together with the ruled line corresponding to each word number and is output to the output device 29. The printing state in this case is shown in FIG. 15B. As shown in FIG. 15, the word N of the first record in the created record memory 21 of FIG.
o. Word data of "11", "14", and "13" are printed together with ruled lines. The steps C2 and C are repeated until all the output records in the created record memory 21 are output.
The processing of No. 3 is repeated, and printing is performed as shown in FIGS. When it is detected in step C4 that there is no output record, in step C5 the underline has a length corresponding to the horizontal ruled line of the renit 1, and a thick line is printed according to the line type of the renit 1. When designating the printing position of the ruled line in the output format memory 28, the Y coordinate of each starting point only needs to be designated with the output position of the first record as a reference value. Each time one line is output, the Y coordinate of the reference value is sequentially updated by the length of one line 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 the Y coordinate is updated in the same manner as described above every time one line is printed. Similarly, the print position of the data need only be specified with the output position of the first record as the reference value.

In the above example, the output of each word data and the ruled line surrounding the four sides of each word data has been described. However, the output of the record data for one line and the ruled line surrounding the four sides of this record data is also collectively performed on a record-by-record basis. You can also specify. 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 position of the record data at the position designated by the designated data in the output format memory 28. Output 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, and the next line Is output to. At this time, when a vertical ruled line that divides each word of one row of record data is output, 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 ruled line is different for each rennit of the record data, each data will be organized by renitt for easy viewing when printed on a book or the like. Designation data indicating the output position of the ruled line or the type of the ruled line may be set in the output style designation memory 28 for each record of each Renite.

In step C3 of FIG. 15, the ruled line is printed together with the data, but the printing position of the data with respect to the ruled line is printed at a position close to the lower ruled line. 16 is shown in FIG.
5 (a) to 5 (d) are partially enlarged views of the printing state diagram, in which a gap H between the data and the upper ruled line and a gap L between the data and the lower ruled line are shown.
Has a relationship of H: L = 2: 1, and this state is an optimum example, but it is sufficient if at least H> L. In order to print in this manner, the ruled line length p of one line in the Y direction of the designated data in the output format designation memory 28,
From the vertical length q of the character pattern of the data, H = (p
-Q) × 2/3, L = (p−q) / 3 in step C
After the calculation in the process of 3, the data is output based on the calculated H and L.

[0028]

As described above, according to the present invention, the ruled line surrounding the record data to be output is designated in correspondence with each aggregation level, and the output position of the record data to be output is designated.
The total level of the read record data is determined, and a ruled line corresponding to the determined total level is added and output so as to surround the read record data at the output position. Therefore, when a record in which various levels of totalization are mixed is output to a form or the like, it is output in different forms depending on the totaling level, and a form or the like having excellent visibility can be output.
