DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a form output management apparatus for an output form in which the number of items of output data and the output order fluctuate in the form output of financial institution information.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. Sho 64-88872, "form creation apparatus", conventionally, when a created form is changed, a form layout unit that defines a print image, printing and editing of a form are known. This has been dealt with by modifying the control table that manages the control data.

[0003] The prior art relating to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

[0004] When providing savings loan count information to a user, the number of savings loan items output on a form increases or decreases. However, output information such as the output order of the savings output subjects was managed as an output subject information table in the program. Therefore, you can change the order of the output subject information,
When adding or deleting output subject information, the program had to be remodeled and it took time to respond.

[0005] As shown in FIG. 2, conventionally, when an output request for a savings and loan counting form is received from an input terminal 2 via an online line 3, a database, data communication, and data in an operating system of a host computer 1 are provided. The system 11 receives and starts the savings and loan counting screen process 22, and a screen for starting the savings and loan counting activation process 23 is transmitted to the input terminal 2 via the database data communication system 11. When the savings loan count start-up process 23 is started from the input terminal 2, the savings count start-up process 23 starts up the savings loan count form creation process 31. In the savings loan count form creation process 31, the savings loan count form creation execution unit 33 searches the output item information table 34 for output item information data to be output in a form one by one. At this time, the output item information data is stored in the output order, and when changing the output order and contents, the output item information table 34 in the program is directly modified. Then, the savings lending count form creation execution unit 33 reads the savings lending count data 51 of the savings lending count file 50 by using the account code and the classification code corresponding to the savings lending subject name of the searched output item information data as keys, and sends the data to the printer 32. Report was output. The same process is repeated until the last data of the output item information table 34, and the printing process to the printer 32 is completed.

[0006]

As described above, conventionally, when the order of the output data of a form or the number of pieces of output item information is changed, the program is remodeled each time, and it takes time to respond. However, there is a problem in that the program can be created for the modification of the program, and only those who understand the internal processing can deal with the problem.

In other words, the above-described conventional processing has a disadvantage that, when the subject information to be output is added, deleted, or changed, it is necessary to directly change the output subject information table in the deposit / loan counting form creation process. .

[0008]

A form output management device according to the present invention includes an output subject information file including an output order of each subject when outputting a form, and information on whether or not each subject is to be output.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. A host computer 1 is connected to an input terminal 2 via an online line 3. The host computer 1 includes a database / data communication system 11 which controls a database and data communication in an online system as a part of the functions of an operating system, a form output management device 12 which is a feature of the present invention, and a deposit and loan. A savings loan counting process 21 including a counting screen process 22 and a savings loan counting activation process 23;
A savings loan count form creation process 31 that prints out the output item information data 41 to the printer 32 based on the result of reading in the output order by the output order reference unit 17, a printer 32, and the savings loan count data that is the actual data to be output to the form. And a savings lending count file 50 storing 51.

The form output management device 12 includes an output information updating unit 1 comprising an output information screen unit 14 and an output information processing unit 15.
3, the data file updating unit 16 for updating the savings loan count file 50, the output item information file 40 storing the output item information data 41, and the output item information data 41 in accordance with the output order of the output item information data 41. And an output order reference section 17 for reading in ascending order.

Here, the output subject information data 41 stored in the output subject information file 40 will be described with reference to FIG.

The output item information data 41 stores information on output items used in the savings and loan counting process 21 of the present embodiment, and includes the names of savings loan items, item codes, classification codes, output orders, and output targets. It consists of 5 items.
The account code and the classification code are keys when reading the actual data to be printed with the name of the bank account lending item from the bank account lending count file 50 in the bank account lending count form creation process 31. The output order indicates the order in which the output order information unit 41 reads the output item information data 41 in the order of output to the printer 32. Therefore, when the output order is changed, the output information updating unit 13 only needs to update the output item information file 40, and there is no need to change the internal processing of the program. In the savings loan count form creation process 31, the savings loan count data 51 in the savings loan count file 50 is searched in the order read by the output order reference unit 17 using the subject code and the classification code as keys, read out, and printed. So
Only by changing the output order of the output item information data 41, the output order to the printer 32 can be automatically changed.

The output target in FIG. 3 is control information for performing printing control. A blank line is prepared in a form in advance so as to be able to cope with the addition of a bank lending item name, or a bank loan which is no longer required. This is for output with the subject name left blank. In the savings lending counting form creation process 31, when the output subject information data 41 is read, if the output target is 0 (zero), a blank is printed out, and if the output target is 1, the savings lending of the savings lending count file 50 is performed. Count data 5
1 is read and printed on the printer 32 to create a savings lending counting form.

Next, the flow of the processing is described in the output item information file 4.
The case of updating the contents of 0 and the case of creating a savings and loan counting form will be described separately.

To update the output subject information data 41 of the output subject information file 40, when a connection instruction is sent from the input terminal 2 to the host computer 1 via the online line 3, the database / data communication system 11 receives the connection instruction. Thus, the input terminal 2 and the host computer 1 are connected online (this processing is unnecessary if the host computer 1 and the input terminal 2 are already connected online). Similarly, when an update request for the output subject information file 40 is issued from the input terminal 2, the database data communication system 11 accepts the request and the output information screen unit 14 of the output information update unit 13 is activated. The output information screen unit 14 transmits an input screen for updating the output subject information data 41 of the output subject information file 40 to the input terminal 2 via the database data communication system 11.
When update data is transmitted from the input terminal 2 to the host computer 1, the database / data communication system 11 receives the update data, activates the output information processing unit 15 of the output information update unit 13, and outputs the output information processing unit 15 The updated contents are written in the subject information file 40.

At this time, if an update process such as deletion of the savings and loan count data 51 of the savings and loan count file 50 is required due to an update such as deletion of information on the savings and loan item, the output information processing unit 15 sends the information. The data file updating unit 16 is activated, and the savings loan count file 50 is updated.

In the case of creating a savings loan count form, when a connection instruction is sent from the input terminal 2 to the host computer 1 via the online line 3, the database / data communication system 11 accepts the connection instruction, and the input terminal 2 and the host The computer 1 is connected online (this process is unnecessary if the host computer 1 and the input terminal 2 are already online). Similarly, when a request for creating a savings loan count form is issued from the input terminal 2, the database data communication system 11 accepts the request, and the savings loan count screen process 22 of the savings loan counting process 21 is started.

The savings loan count screen processing 22 is a process for creating an input screen for creating a savings loan count form via the database / data communication system 11 on the input terminal 2.
Send to When the input screen for saving deposit loan counting form creation is transmitted from the input terminal 2 to the host computer 1, the database / data communication system 11 receives the input screen and starts the savings loan count starting process 23 of the savings loan counting process 21. From there, the savings lending counting form creation process 31 is started.

The deposit / loan counting form creation process 31 activates the output order reference unit 17 of the form output management device 12, and the output order reference unit 17 outputs the output item information data 41 of the output item information file 40. Read as keys in ascending order.

When the reading from the output item information file 40 is completed, the savings loan count form creation process 31 uses the item code and the classification code of the output item information data 41 read out by the output order reference unit 17 as a key to count the savings loan. The bank lending count data 51 of the file 50 is read and output to the printer 32. The output to the printer 32 is repeated until the output subject information data 41 of the output subject information file 40 read by the output order reference unit 17 becomes the last.

[0022]

As described above, conventionally, when the order of the output data of a form or the number of pieces of output subject information is changed, the program must be remodeled each time, and it takes a long time to cope with the change. However, if the subject information to be output is added, deleted, or changed according to the present invention, the output subject information of the host computer is input from the input terminal. All you have to do is update the file interactively, and you don't need to modify the program directly.

Thus, the operability and maintenance efficiency of the program can be improved, and the flexibility of the system can be improved.
