Abstract

PURPOSE:To keep the consistency of user interface by providing a function to convert a TSS command to a JCL (job control language) to execute as a batch job. CONSTITUTION:A started up JCL conversion part 15 generates the JCL for the batch job based on the TSS command, and outputs it to a JCL file 16. After that, by inputting the TSS command from a terminal equipment 3 by a user a TSS processing part 11 delivers the TSS command to the JCL conversion part 15 as it is. When a series of input of the TSS commands for a batch processing is completed, the user of the terminal equipment 3 inputs the TSS command in the JCL conversion part. Therefore, the TSS processing part 11 stops the operation of the JCL conversion part 15 by interpreting the TSS command. Simultaneously, the content of the JCL file 16 is outputted, and it is registered on a batch processing part 12 as the batch job.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a job processing method for a computer system, and particularly relates to a job processing method for a time sharing system (TSS).
m) It relates to a job processing method suitable for command processing of a computer system operating in an environment.

[Conventional technology]

In recent years, it has become common for computer systems to be connected to multiple terminals (TSS terminals) via communication lines and to operate under a TSS environment. In this case, jobs are executed interactively between the terminal user and the computer system using TSS commands. On the other hand, the work of computer systems also involves batch processing. This batch processing uses the Job Control Language (JCL).
The processing is described in Ngu, age), and the computer system interprets the JCL and executes the batch job.

Regarding the TSS command, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 0-14
It is described in Publication No. 4839, and also.

JCL is described in, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 105167/1983.

[Conventional technology]

In conventional computer systems, if the processing format is different, such as batch or conversational, the user must write the processing in a different command language, and the user's ease of use is not considered.

In other words, in the past, when performing a series of processes, it was necessary to write each process using JCL when processing as a batch job, and TSS command when processing interactively in a TSS environment, which was cumbersome for users. There was a problem.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a job processing method that allows processes to be described using the same command prefix even if the processing formats are different, and provides consistency in the user interface.

[Means for solving problems]

The above purpose is to implement TSS in a computer system that has the function of interpreting JCL and executing it as a batch job, and the function of interpreting TSS commands and executing them interactively with the user.
This is achieved by providing a function to convert commands into JCL for execution as a batch job.

[For production]

When a user specifies batch processing and inputs a TSS command from a terminal or the like, the computer system automatically converts the TSS command into JCL, stores it in a JCL file, and executes it as a batch job.

As a result, even in the case of batch jobs, users do not need to write the processing in JCL, but can write and input TSS commands from a terminal, etc., making the user interface more consistent and easier for users to use. It becomes easy.

【Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, a terminal device (TSS terminal) 3 is connected to a computer system 1 via a communication line 2. Although a large number of terminal devices 3 are actually connected to the computer system 1, only one terminal device 3 is shown in FIG. 1 for convenience. The computer system 1 includes a TSS processing unit 11. which processes conversational jobs.
A batch processing unit 12 that processes jobs that require resource scheduling (batch jobs), a terminal device 3, and a TSS
A communication control unit 13 that controls communication with the processing unit 11, a command file 14 that stores a series of TSS commands described as a TSS command procedure, and a TS
It consists of a JCL conversion unit 15 included in the S processing unit 11 and converting TSS commands into corresponding JCL, and a JCL file 16 that stores JCL generated by the JCL conversion unit 15 and passes it to the batch processing unit 12. .

Normally, a user of the terminal device [3 inputs a TSS command from the terminal device [3] and requests processing to the computer system 1 in a conversational manner. The TSS processing unit 11 of the computer system 1
When an SS command is received via the communication control unit 13, the TSS command is interpreted, predetermined processing is executed, and the processing results are sent via the communication control unit 13 to the terminal device [3].
Send it back to The input of the TSS command from this terminal device 13, the corresponding TSS command in the TSS processing unit 11 of the computer system 1.
By repeating the interpretation and execution of the SS command and the return of the processing results to the terminal device 3, processing is executed in a conversational manner. Further, the user can also store a series of TSS commands written as a command procedure in the command file 14 and request the TSS processing section 11 to process it.

In this case, the TSS processing unit 11 uses the command file 14
A series of TSS commands are sequentially read from N and executed continuously.

Next, the case where the user of the terminal device 3 requests batch processing to the computer system 1 will be explained with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 2. FIG. 2 particularly shows the processing in the JCL converter 15.

The user first inputs a TSS command to start the JCL converter 15 from the terminal R3. In the computer system 1, the TSS processing unit 11 processes the TSS via the communication control unit 13.
It receives the command, interprets it, and starts the JCL conversion unit 15. The activated JCL conversion unit 15 generates JCL (control statement for the entire job) for the batch job based on the TSS command and outputs it to the JCL file 16.

Thereafter, when the user inputs a TSS command from the terminal device 3, the TSS processing unit 11 of the computer system 1 executes the TSS command.
The command is passed as is to the JCL conversion unit 15, and the JCL conversion unit 15 generates JCL corresponding to the TSS command and outputs it to the JCL file 16. When the input of a series of TSS commands for batch processing is completed, the terminal device 3
The user inputs a TSS command to stop the JCL converter 15. The TSS processing unit 11 of the computer system 1 stops the operation of the JCL conversion unit 15 by interpreting the TSS command. At the same time, the contents of the JCL file 16 are output and registered in the batch processing unit 12 as a batch job. After that, the batch processing unit 12 interprets the JCL,
A series of TSS commands input by the user from the terminal device 3 are executed as a batch job. Note that by reading the contents of the command file 14 and inputting them to the JCL conversion unit 15, it is also possible to execute a series of TSS commands described in the command file 14 as a command procedure as a batch job in the batch processing unit 12. be.

FIG. 3 shows a concrete example of the TSS command and the corresponding JCL. 100-1 is a TSS command for starting the JCL conversion unit, and the JCL conversion unit 1 that has been activated
5 outputs JCL for the batch job indicated by 200-1 based on the TSS command. That is, J.C.L.
Each operand of the TSS command for starting the conversion unit 100-1 corresponds to each operand of the statement 200-1 that controls the entire job. 100-2. too-3 is a series of TS
These TSS commands also have corresponding statements and operands.

The sum conversion is performed as shown by 200-2 and 200-3. 100-4 is a TSS command for stopping the JCL conversion unit, and the operation of the JCL conversion unit 15 is stopped by this TSS command. At this time, JCL file 16 contains 200-
A batch bayob of 1,200-2,200-3 is registered, and in reality it is 1°O-1,100-2,100-3.
(7) Even though the TSS command was input, on computer system 1, it seems as if batch jobs 200-1 and 200-2
, 200-3, the TSS command is processed as a batch job.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention.

Function and TS to interpret JCL and execute as a batch job
Even when executing a batch job on a computer system that has the function of interpreting S commands and executing them conversationally, the user does not need to write the process in JCL;
Because it is only necessary to input commands, the consistency of the user interface is maintained, and users are freed from the hassle of having to write processes in TSSS text or JCL″'Q as in the past. effective.
