Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a system for generating a tabular program specification used for generating a program for inputting / outputting data in developing a business program.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, at a preliminary stage of developing a program for inputting / outputting data, an attribute including a data item used in the program to be developed and a process related to the data item is defined, and the definition information is defined in the attribute. Based on this, a program specification that defines data input / output processing is created.

For example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-276340 (title of the invention: output destination program automatic generation device, data input / output processing automatic generation device, and computer-readable storage medium recording a program). There is a system that automatically generates a program specification and a source program for input / output processing based on transfer conditions and input source data items defined in output destination data items. Further, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 08-171486 (Invention title: Program development support device for reusing data item parts), a data item whose processing content is defined in a form corresponding to the data item name. There is a system that automatically generates program specifications and source programs based on parts.

[0004]

However, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-2000
In the invention described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 276340, it is necessary for the user to define the processing content for each output destination data item when the source program is automatically generated. On the other hand, in the invention described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 08-171486, since the data item parts whose processing contents are defined in advance are used, the user does not need to individually define each data item. It was necessary to previously define the processing content for each data item name as a part. Therefore, in the conventional technique, it is necessary to define the processing content at least for each data item name, and therefore, when the data name differs depending on the type of the program specification, it is necessary to individually define it. Further, even if the same processing content is defined for a plurality of data items having the same data type in the same program specification, it is necessary to define the processing content individually because the data item name is different. . Therefore, when there are a large number of data items used in the program specifications, such as a data transfer process accompanying a system change of a financial institution, a great deal of labor is required for pre-definition work.

The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems, and a program specification generation system capable of easily generating a program specification by simplifying the definition of the processing content for each output destination data item. The purpose is to provide.

[0006]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention generates a tabular program specification for input / output processing of data to be processed having a plurality of output destination data items and input source data items. A program specification generation system for processing, a processing template storage unit for storing processing template information including a processing name and processing contents described in a predetermined language, the processing template information including a plurality of processing templates defined by a user, and arbitrary data. A plurality of first default templates in which the correspondence between the name and the processing name is defined by the user, and a plurality of second default templates in which the correspondence between the data type and the processing name is defined by the user. Used as a default template storage means for storing default template information and program specifications The destination data item information including the data name and data type of the destination data item and the input source data item information including the data name and data type of the input source data item are specified by the user, and each specified data is received. The input source data item is associated with the output destination data item based on the item information, and the output destination data item is stored in the default template storage unit according to the data name and data type of each output destination data item. Selecting a first default template or a second default template and specifying a processing template corresponding to the processing name defined in the selected default template, and specifying the processing template by the processing template specifying means , Stored in the processing template storage means It refers to the processing template information, characterized in that it comprises a specification generator means by the processing contents defined in the processing template to generate a tabular program specifications. Also,

FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing an outline of the process of generating a tabular program specification using the process template and the default template defined in the past by the specification generating system 101. First, the user specifies a data item dictionary including an output destination data item and an input source data item used in the program specification from a plurality of data item dictionaries (step 201). The specification generation system 101 causes the output destination data item used to generate the program specification to be designated as necessary, and reads the data item information 111 from the data item dictionary for the output destination data item and the input source data item. Further, the user is made to specify the file in which the generated program specification is stored (step 202).
The table format information 108 is associated with each file as a storage destination, and the specification generation system 101 reads the table format information 108 corresponding to the specified file.

The process template definition unit 102 extracts the process template information 109 corresponding to the read table format information 108, and extracts the process template information 109 used for generating the program specification from the plurality of extracted process template information 109. The user is made to select (step 203). The process template definition unit 102 displays the selected process template information 109 on the process template definition screen described later, and prompts the user to edit the process template information 109 (step 204). The user adds and deletes the processing template as the editing of the processing template information. When the processing template is added, the processing name and the processing content thereof are described by the user.

The default template definition unit 103
The default template information 110 corresponding to the processing template information 109 selected by the user is read and displayed on the default template definition screen described later,
The user is allowed to edit the default template information (step 205). In editing the default template information, the type of the data type is read from the data item information 111 read for the output destination data item, and if there is a data type not included in the default template, the processing template of the data type is read. Set the process name. Also, a process name is set for an arbitrary data name. The process template definition unit 102 and the default template definition unit 103 store the process template information 109 and the default template information 110 based on the editing result by the user (step 20).
6). Stored default template information 110
Is composed of a first default template in which a process name is set for an arbitrary data name and a second default template in which a process name is set for a data type.

Based on the data item information 111 read for the output destination data item and the input source data item, the data automatic associating unit 104 determines the input source data for each output destination data item according to the data name or data type. Items are associated (step 207). Further, the automatic data association unit 104 reads out the default template information 110 edited by the user, and specifies a processing template for each data item included in the output destination data item information based on the default template information 110 (step 208). ). In the designation of this processing template, first, the first default template included in the default template information 110 is referenced based on the data name of each output destination data item, and the data name for which the processing name is set in the first default template In case of, the process name set for the data name is specified. On the other hand, for the data name for which the process name is not set in the first default template, the process name set for the data type in the second default template is specified. The data automatic associating unit 104 stores, for each output destination data item, the data item name of the associated input source data item and the designated process name as the input / output process definition information 112.

The input / output processing editing section 105 reads out the stored input / output processing definition information 112 and allows the user to edit it (step 209). In editing the input / output process definition information 112, the associated input source data item or the designated process template is changed for each output destination data item. The input / output processing editing unit 105 stores the edited input / output processing definition information 112. The specification generation unit 106 reads the stored input / output processing definition information 112 and the processing template and stores the specification data 113.
Is generated (step 210). In the generation processing of the specification data 113, the processing template is referred to based on the processing name specified in each output destination data item included in the input / output processing definition information 112, and the processing content of the Japanese sentence defined in the processing template is described. To do. The data item name of the associated input source data item is also described. The specification generation unit 106 generates the specification data 113 based on each description,

Select 09. The processing template definition unit 101
The selected process template information 109 is displayed, and the user can correct the contents described in the process name column 303, the condition column 304, and the process column 305, the add button 306, and the delete button 3
The processing template is added or deleted by pressing 07. When adding a processing template, the processing name column 3
03, condition column 304, processing column 305, the user is allowed to describe the contents of each. At this time, the condition column 304,
The Japanese sentence described in the processing column 305 can include an item indicated by □ 310. The item indicates a part in which a data item name or a value is specified in the generation process of the specification data 113 described later. In the editing process of the process template, the input source or the output destination is set for the box 310 based on the pressing of the setting buttons 308 and 309 by the user for the specified portion of the data item name. The <input source><outputdestination> 311 set by the setting buttons 308 and 309 are displayed on the screen so that they can be easily distinguished from normal data items.

In FIG. 3, each processing template is composed of a condition column 304 and a processing column 305, but this configuration is determined according to the table format information 108, and the read table format information is used. Depending on 108, the processing template may include a plurality of condition columns and comment columns.

FIG. 4 shows a screen layout when a user sets a process template for a data type as an example of a default template definition screen. Default template definition screen 400
Is the processing template information 10 selected by the user.
The default template information 110 corresponding to 9 is displayed. The default template definition screen 400 has a data type column 401 and a default processing column 402. In the default processing column 402, a processing template is designated according to the result of the automatic association processing (step 207), and therefore, it is distinguished into association 403 and association 404.

In the editing process of the default template corresponding to the data type, the data type is extracted from the data item information 111, the data type not included in the default template information 110 is added, and the user is allowed to set the processing template. The setting of the processing template is performed by displaying the processing template menu 405 in each column of the correspondence 403 or the non-correlation 404 and allowing the user to select the processing name from the list of the processing names shown in the processing template menu 405. To do. There is a correspondence 40
The process template set to 3 is a process template specified when the input source data item is associated with the output destination data item in the association process (step 207). Therefore, only the processing template including “<input source>” as the data item in the defined processing content can be selected. On the other hand, in the non-correlation 404, only a processing template that does not include “<input source>” as a data item in the defined processing content can be selected.

FIG. 5 shows, as another example of the default template definition screen, a screen layout when a process template is set for an arbitrary data name.

Default template definition screen 500
Is the processing template information 10 selected by the user.
As the default template information 110 corresponding to 9, the default template in which the data name and the process name are associated is displayed. Default template definition screen 500
Has a data name column 501 and a default processing column 502. The default processing field 502 is associated 50
3 and 504 with no correspondence. It also has an add button 505 and a delete button 506 for adding or deleting the default template. In the editing process of the default template corresponding to the data name, one line is added when the user presses the add button 505, the user inputs an arbitrary data name, and the processing template is set for the data name. Similar to the case of the default template definition screen 400, the setting of the process template is performed by allowing the user to select from the list of process names shown in the process template menu (not shown). In the default template corresponding to the data name, the process set only for a specific data item is defined in relation to the data name. For example,
In this embodiment, the data name “customer name” is associated 5
A special process called “unequal time set” 510 is associated with 03.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of the output destination data item information and the input source data item information which the automatic data associating unit 104 performs the associating process (step 207). The output destination data item information 610 and the input source data item information 620 as the data item information 111 are data names 611 and 621 and data types 612 and 6, respectively.
It has various information including 22. Further, the data item of the output destination data item information 610 and the input source data item information 6
The connection with the 20 data items indicates the associated data items. The data automatic association unit 104 uses the data item information 1
With reference to the output destination data item information 610 and the input source data item information 620 as 11, the input source data item is associated with each output destination data item based on the data name, data type, arrangement order, and the like. For example, an input source data item having the same data name and data type is associated with an output destination data item having a data name "department" and a data type "alphanumeric item". In this case, if there is no data item corresponding to the input source data item, such as “shipping details”, the data item is not associated.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the processing template designation processing (208) performed by the automatic data association unit 104. Further, FIG. 8 shows the default template information 1 used for the process template designation process.
10 shows an example of a data structure of 10. The default template information 110 includes first default template information 810 in which a process name is set for a data name,
The second default template information 820 in which the processing name is set for the data type is included. The data automatic correspondence unit 104 refers to the first default template information 810 for the data name 611 of each data item of the output destination data item information 610 shown in FIG. 6, and the data name 611 of the data item is the default template information 810. It is determined whether or not it corresponds to the data name 811 included in (step 701). As a result, if the data name 611 is included, it is determined whether or not the input source data item is associated with the output destination data item in the association process (step 702). As a result, when the input source data item is associated, in the default template information 810, of the default processes 812 set for the data name 811, the process name set in the associated 813 is designated. (Step 703).

When the input source data item is not associated, the process name set in the non-correlation 814 among the default processes 812 associated with the data name 811 in the default template information 110. Designate (step 704). For example, for the “reception number” of the output destination data item information 610, the processing template “reception number seeding” set to the non-correlation 814 of the data name “reception number” of the default template information 810 is specified.

On the other hand, as a result of the determination of the presence or absence of the data name 611 (step 701), if the data name is not included, it is similarly determined whether or not the input source data item is associated with the output destination data item. The determination is made (step 705).
As a result, when the input source data item is associated, the default template information 820 is referred to and the process name set in the associated 823 of the default process 822 associated with the data type 821 is selected. Designate (step 706). For example, with respect to the “department store” of the output destination data item information 610, there is a correspondence of the data type “alphanumeric item” of the default template information 820 8
The processing template “set” set in 23 is designated. If the input source data item is not associated, in the default template information 820,
Default process 822 associated with data type 821
Of these, the processing template set to the uncorrelated 824 is designated (step 707). For example, for the “delivery details” included in the output destination data item information 610, refer to the non-correspondence 824 of the data type “group item” of the default template information 820, and the process name is not set because the process template is not set. Not specified.

FIG. 9 shows an example of the edit screen of the input / output processing definition information 112. Input / output processing edit screen 90
0 displays the input / output processing definition information 112 generated by the automatic association unit 104. The output destination 901 includes a data name 902 and a data type 903, and an input source 904.
Is composed of a data name 905 and a processing name 906. In the edit processing of the input / output processing definition information 112, the input source 904 associated with each output destination data item
The user is allowed to modify the data name 905 or the processing name 906 of. In this case, for the data name 905, the data name menu 907 displayed based on the data item information 111.
The user can change the processing name by selecting from the menu items of the processing name menu (not shown) displayed based on the processing template information 109.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the generation process of the specification data 113, and FIG. 11 is the process template information 109 used for the generation process of the specification data 113, the input / output process definition information 112, and the generated specifications. It is a figure which shows an example of each data structure of the writing data 113.
The process template definition information 109 includes process name 1101, condition 1102, and process 11 for each process template.
It has each information of 03. Input / output processing definition information 112
Is each output destination data item 11 included in the processing target data.
It has information about 04 and information about the input source data item 1105. It has a data name 1106 and a data type 1107 as information on the output destination data item 1104, and has a data name 1108 and a process name 1109 as information 1105 on the input source data item. The specification data 113 has information of a data name 1110, a condition 1111 and a process 1112 for an output destination data item designated by a processing template among the output destination data items included in the processing target data.

The specification generation unit 106 refers to the input / output processing definition information 112 and repeats the subsequent processing of steps 902 to 911 for the number of data names 1106 of the output destination data item 1101 (step 901). First, the process name 1109 is set for the data name 1106 of the input / output process definition information 112.
Is set (step 90).
2). For example, process name 1 for data name "shipping details"
109, the process name 1109 is not set, so the process is performed for the next data name 1106. As for the data name “department store”, “set” is set in the process name 1109, so a line “department store” is added to the specification data 113 as a new line (step 903).

As the repetitive processing, the corresponding processing template is extracted from the processing template information 109 based on the processing name 1109 set for the data name 1106, and the number of columns indicating the processing contents of the processing template is repeated from step 905. The processing from ˜911 is repeated (step 904). Regarding the data name “department store”, condition 11
02 and processing 1103 for each column. Further, as repetitive processing, the following processing is repeated by the number of Japanese sentences set in the condition column or the processing column of the processing template described in each column (step 905). For example,
When three Japanese sentences are described in each column of the condition or the process such as the process name “reception number sowing”, the process is performed three times for each line.

Here, the Japanese sentence is added to the corresponding column of the specification data 113 (step 906), and the following processes are performed as the repeated process for the items in the Japanese sentence (step 907). For example, the process is performed for the item “<transfer destination>” described in the process 1103 of the process name “set”. Here, the type of item is determined (step 908), and if <output destination> is set for the item, the input / output processing definition information 112 is referred to and the data name 1106 of the output destination data item 1104 is set to Japanese sentence. (Step 909). If <input source> is set for the item, the input / output processing definition information 112 is referred to, and the corresponding input source data item 110
The data name 1108 of 5 is described in a Japanese sentence (step 910). For example, regarding the processing 1112 of the data name “department store”, the data name “department store” of the corresponding input source data item 1105 is described, and ““ department store ”is set”.

If neither the input source nor the output destination is set for the item portion, the specific data item or value input by the user is added to the Japanese sentence (step 911). Steps 902-911 above
Processing is performed for all the data names 1106 included in the output destination data item 1104 of the input / output processing definition information 112 to generate the specification data 113.

According to the specification data 113 generated here, the condition 11 for the data name 1110 of each data item
11 and a process 1112 are described, and a tabular program specification is generated. The specification data 113 generated here is a combination of data items and a Japanese sentence indicating the processing content, and is compatible with the conventional system. Therefore, the program specification generated by this system is used. A conventional system can be used to modify the writing.

As described above, in the specification generation system 101 according to this embodiment, a processing template defining a processing name and processing content, a data item, and a processing name of the processing template are set for arbitrary data names. A default template that has been defined by the user, and a data automatic associating unit 104 that specifies a processing name for each data item used in the program specification based on the default template; and a processing template for the processing name specified for each data item. With the specification generation unit 106 that generates a program specification based on the above, it is possible to simplify the work of defining the processing contents even for a program specification having a large number of data items, and to easily generate the program specification. can do. That is, the user may set, as the default template, the process name of the process template in which the process content is defined for each data type, and the individual definition process for all data items is unnecessary. In addition, a process name is defined for an arbitrary data name as a default template, and the data automatic association unit 1
04 decides the process name based on the data type after determining the process name based on an arbitrary data name for each data item. The process name should be set for each name.

Further, in the process template definition process, a process template definition unit 102 for setting <output destination> or <input source> for the description of the data item included in the process content is provided, and the specification generation unit 106 is the above-mentioned. Since the data name for each output destination data item is described in the processing content according to the setting, the user can define the processing template in the format that can be used for various data items even for the processing content including the specific data name. be able to. Therefore, it is not necessary to define the processing contents in the format corresponding to each data item in the processing template, and the work of defining the processing contents is further simplified. Also,
Since the already-defined processing template or default template is provided with the processing template definition unit 102 and the default template definition unit 103 that allow the user to arbitrarily edit the processing template or default template according to the data items used in the generated program specifications, the processing template And the default template can be used to generate a plurality of program specifications such as data items. In the above embodiment, since the processing content is defined in Japanese in the processing template, it is possible to generate a highly readable program specification. However, the program specifications generated by the present invention are not limited to those written in Japanese, and the processing contents are defined in other languages in the processing template to generate the program specifications described in various languages. can do.
