Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Outline] A processing sequence automatic setting processing device configured to interactively create a processing program and capable of displaying a connection mode of a connected procedure on a display screen. In order to automatically attach a layered code in order to clarify the hierarchical relationship of the procedures to be created, a procedure correspondence information table is provided for each generated procedure, and the corresponding procedure is provided. The configuration is such that a procedure hierarchy processing unit is provided for examining the contents of the information table and allocating block processing order information and intra-block processing order information.

[Industrial applications]

The present invention relates to a processing sequence automatic setting processing device, in particular, a processing program interactive creation processing device configured to create a processing program in an interactive form and capable of displaying a connection mode of a connected procedure on a display screen. The present invention relates to a forward automatic setting processing device.

Recently, while interacting with a display screen, "procedures", which are processing units (also referred to as units), are linked with a connection relationship of resources to be used to create a desired processing program. Then, each of the connected “procedures” is displayed on a display screen to indicate the connection mode, and correction and the like are performed as necessary.

[Conventional technology]

For each procedure that is generated one after another, processing order information is attached to clarify the processing order relationship, but in the conventional case, the processing program creator (hereinafter referred to as the user) appropriately The method of numbering the sirials was adopted. That is, as shown in Fig. 4, "procedure"
Corresponding to the "process a", "process a", "process", "process a".
Codes such as "2", "3", "4", ...
Even when displaying on the display screen, it was only displayed serially according to the code.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

In the above conventional case, for example, when each procedure has a hierarchical relationship such that the processing flows are divided or merged as shown in FIGS. 5 (A) and 5 (B). However, it must be displayed in a serial manner as shown in FIG.

For this reason, the hierarchical relationship is not clear, and it is extremely complicated and error-prone to modify the processing program.

An object of the present invention is to automatically assign a hierarchical code to clarify the hierarchical relationship of the connected procedures.

[Means for solving the problem]

FIG. 1 shows a principle configuration diagram of the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 10 is a display screen, 11, 12, 13, 14, ... Are displays corresponding to respective procedures, and 21, 22, 23, 24 ,.

Each procedure is generally expressed by describing a procedure name, an input resource name to be used, and an output resource name to be output. Then, in one embodiment of the present invention, the assigned "hierarchized code" is displayed as the processing order information. In the example shown in the figure, that is, "01-01 Selection Input Table 1 Connection Table 1",
It is shown that a procedure called "selection" executes a process using the input table 1 and outputs the concatenation table 1, and the procedure is "01" in the block processing order, and the procedure is "01" in the block. It is shown that the processing order within the block is “01”.

In each of the procedure correspondence information tables 21, 22, ..., For example, (i) the procedure name indicating the above "selection", and (ii) the object number of the input resource to be used (in the above example, the input table 1 , And (iii) the object number of the output resource to be output (the number representative of the concatenation table 1 in the above example, and (iv) block processing order information (01 in the above example) And (v) intra-block processing order information (01 in the above example).

The input table is a table describing input resources read by the computer, and the output table is a table describing output resources written by the computer. The concatenation table is a table in which data is passed between the procedures in one or more procedures during which the computer processes the data read from the input table by the procedure and writes the data in the output table. Furthermore, as conventionally known in the Cobol language, matching is a procedure that is processed immediately after a plurality of procedure groups that are processed in parallel, and distribution is a procedure that is processed immediately before a plurality of procedure groups that are processed in parallel. It is a procedure to be performed.

[Action]

As the user creates procedures one after another in order to create a processing program, he / she can specify, for example, "selection, input table 1, linkage table 1" as shown in FIG. Then, a procedure hierarchy processing unit (not shown) operates, checks the contents of the generated procedure, and automatically creates the block processing order information and the in-block processing order information. Then, it is displayed on the display screen 10 and is described in the procedure correspondence information table 21 and the like.

〔Example〕

FIG. 2 shows a processing flow of an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 shows a processing example. The processing is performed as follows. That is, the process: the contents of the process in the immediately preceding procedure (same as the unit) are examined, and the contents of the process are the distribution as shown in FIG. 5 (A) or the collision as shown in FIG. 5 (B). Check if it is a match. In the case of both, proceed to the processing.

Processing: Except for matching and distribution, check the type of procedure input resource. Then, when the input resource is the "input table", the processing proceeds.

Processing: If the input resource is not an input table but a concatenation table, check whether the input resource is the same as the output resource of the immediately preceding procedure. If they are different, the process proceeds.

Processing: When the processing has been passed, the processing order information in the block for the procedure is incremented by one.

Processing: For the procedure headed for the processing, it is determined that the block needs to be updated, and the block processing order information is incremented by one.

Processing: Then, the in-block processing order information about the procedure is initialized. That is, set to "01".

FIG. 3 shows a processing example. Reference numerals 10, 21, 22 in the figure correspond to those in FIG. 1, 23 is a procedure correspondence information table prepared for the next procedure, and 30 is a procedure hierarchy processing. Represents a part.

The figure shows the situation when the procedure corresponding to “edit” is instructed. That is, at this time, the procedure correspondence information table 21 has already been generated.

The contents of the processing in the procedure hierarchy processing unit 30 are the same as those shown in FIG. Since the processing is not the above-mentioned “matching” or “sorting”, the processing proceeds.
Then, in the processing, since it is not the above-mentioned "input table", the processing proceeds. Next, in the processing, as described above, since the output resource in “selection” and the input resource in “editing” are the same “linkage table 1”, the processing proceeds to processing. In the case shown in the figure, the "in-block processing order information" in the procedure correspondence information table 22 is incremented by 1, and a part of the procedure correspondence information table 23 is assumed and generated for the next procedure in advance. There is.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, according to the present invention, since the procedures are hierarchized, it is possible to perform the display as shown in FIG. 5 (A) or FIG. 5 (B) as needed. .
