Description

Detailed Description of the Invention [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an exchange program relocation tool control language creation method, and in particular to an exchange program relocation tool used when revising a file in the development of an exchange program (program for an electronic exchange system). Concerning a method for creating a placement tool control language.

[Conventional technology]

J1g has many functions such as services required for electronic exchanges.
And with increasing sophistication, the volume of exchange programs continues to grow each year. Therefore, the number of object modules that serve as input to the linker increases year by year during the linking process when arranging the individual programs that make up an exchange program in the main memory of an electronic exchange, and the processing time required for the linking process becomes enormous. It had become.

Therefore, in order to reduce the processing time of the above-mentioned linking work when revising files in the development of an exchange program, we have developed a method (partial Link method.

A linker that performs the partial linking method (called an exchange program relocation tool) has come into use.

Conventionally, in the exchange program relocation tool control language creation method for creating the exchange program relocation tool control language, the exchange program relocation tool control language was created by batch-style processing using a general-purpose computer (this method Relocation of exchange programs was performed by the exchange program relocation tool based on control by the exchange program relocation tool control language created by the exchange program relocation tool).

FIG. 3 shows a conventional exchange program relocation tool II of this type. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of an 11 language creation method.

In this exchange program relocation tool control language creation method, the arrangement change instruction information d' (instruction to change the arrangement status in the main memory of the exchange program (relocation instruction)) stored in advance in the arrangement change instruction information file 35 is Based on the host computer (general-purpose computer) 31, the exchange program main memory current location information file 3 is
2, device information a' (current arrangement status of the exchange program in main memory, etc.) and changed program information b' (input from the changed program storage file 33).
Information regarding programs that have changed parts among the programs that constitute the exchange program) is referred to, and the exchange program relocation tool control language is created, and the exchange program relocation tool control language is created as exchange program relocation tool control language creation data C'. It was stored in the control language file 34.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the conventional exchange program relocation tool control language creation method described above, the exchange program is created according to a predetermined procedure (such as the procedure indicated by the relocation instruction information d' in FIG. 3) in batch-type processing by a general-purpose computer. Since a relocation tool control language has been created, there are no problems when controlling programs that are already located in main memory (replacement of images in programs that make up an exchange program with new images), etc. However, when the program size of a certain program increases and the program cannot be changed within the segment (set of programs) in which the program currently exists, or when a certain program is moved to another segment, it is necessary to re-program the exchange program. When creating an exchange program relocation tool control language for controlling a placement tool, there is a drawback that it is not possible to respond flexibly in real time and it takes a long time to create the desired exchange program relocation tool control language.

In other words, when a segment size overflow occurs (a state in which all of the programs belonging to a segment cannot fit in the main memory area allocated to that segment) or when a program in one segment is moved to another segment. etc., it is necessary to be able to easily obtain an accurate understanding of the current allocation status of exchange programs in main memory, the program size of each allocated program, and the program size of the program to be relocated (program after change). It is necessary to be able to easily process such information. In other words, whether the program name of the program that is a member of the segment, the program name of the program to be relocated, and their program sizes can be easily retrieved, and whether there is sufficient free space to relocate the replacement program. It is necessary to have a function for creating an exchange program relocation tool control language that reflects functions that support program size calculation processing and the like (corresponding to the above-mentioned "information processing") for making such judgments. However, in the conventional exchange program relocation tool control language creation method for batch-type processing using a general-purpose computer,
Since it is necessary to manually address these needs and create a procedure for creating the exchange program relocation tool control language (relocation change instruction information d' in Figure 3, etc.), it is necessary to manually handle the exchange program relocation tool control language. The disadvantage is that the time required to create the tool control language and, therefore, to relocate the replacement program increases.゛In view of the above-mentioned points, an object of the present invention is to be able to accurately grasp the situation in creating an exchange program relocation tool control language in a short time, and to shorten the time required to create an exchange program relocation tool control language. An object of the present invention is to provide an exchange program relocation tool control language creation method that can reduce the time required to relocate an exchange program.

[Means to solve the problem]

The exchange program relocation tool control language creation method of the present invention operates under the TSS and visually generates program main memory location information in real time that indicates current location information and information in which changed program information is reflected in the current location information. A display means for displaying the current arrangement information displayed by the display means, and a processing instruction for inputting processing instructions for processing the information in the program main memory arrangement information to reflect the changed program information and into the required format. an input means, a processing means for processing information in the program main memory arrangement information indicating the current arrangement information displayed by the display means based on the processing instruction input by the processing instruction input means, and processing by the processing means. a change instruction input means for inputting an instruction to change the arrangement status of the exchange program in the main memory based on the program main memory arrangement information reflecting the changed program information displayed by the display means; and control language creation means for creating an exchange program relocation tool control language corresponding to the change in the arrangement status of the exchange program in the main memory indicated by the change instruction.

It has changed program size increase/decrease information 57 and intra-segment program placement status information 58 after reflecting the changed program information.

Next, the operation of the exchange program relocation tool control language creation method of this embodiment configured as described above will be explained.

When a control language is created for an exchange program relocation tool that is an exchange program relocation tool for changing (relocating) the placement status of the exchange program in main memory in accordance with changes in the programs that make up the exchange program. In this case, the TSS terminal connected to the host computer 1 under the TSS mode obtains the program main memory location information related to the current exchange program based on the current location information a in the exchange program main memory current location information file 2. It is provided in real time (this provision is realized by the screen display f on the graph ink display device 5 based on the screen display information g from the host computer 1).

The graphic display device 5 in the TSS terminal provides (displays) the above-mentioned program main memory arrangement information by inputting an input command e to the keyboard 6 by the terminal operator. Program main memory location information can be immediately referenced.

The above display shows the current location of the exchange program in main memory (segment location, segment size, free area within the segment, program name of the program that is a member of the segment, program of the program that is a member of the segment). (size, information on free areas to which no segments are assigned, etc.)
can be visually and accurately grasped (see information indicated by numerals 51 to 55 in Fig. 2ial).
The current mode of the graphic display device 5 can be determined by the mode display 56).

Based on this understanding of the situation, a processing instruction is issued to process the program main memory location information displayed on the graphic display device 5 into a necessary format that reflects the changed program information in the changed program information file 3. It is input by the processing instruction input means 61 on the keyboard 6 (this input is performed using instruction information d based on the input command e).

Based on this processing instruction, the program main memory arrangement information as shown in FIG. 2 (al) displayed on the graphic display device 5 is processed by the processing means 11 in the host computer 1. , the changed program information f[! in the changed program information file 3
b is referenced.

The program main memory location information that has been processed to reflect the changed program information is displayed on the graphic display 5 as shown in Fig. You will be able to quickly grasp the arrangement situation in your memory.

In the display shown in Figure 2, the program size of program g and program j in segment B has increased due to the program change (see change program size increase/decrease information 57 in Figure 2, Figure 2). It is shown that segment size over has occurred in B (
In the segment after reflection of the exchange program information in Figure 2 (mountain) - see program placement status information 58).

Here, the main memory map 5 in the program main memory location information displayed on the graphic display device 5
Since the area of segment B within 2 is highlighted, the operator of the TSS terminal can easily visually understand in which segment the problem has occurred. It also highlights which programs in segment B have been changed (highlighting programs g and j), so you can easily see that and how to rearrange the replacement programs. This will make it easier to decide whether or not to do so.

Therefore, the above-mentioned judgment is made by the operator of the TSS terminal, and an instruction to change the arrangement status of the exchange program in the main memory based on the judgment is inputted by the change instruction input means 62 (by the instruction information d based on the input command e). carried out).

Based on this change instruction, the control language creation means 12 in the host computer 1 creates an exchange program relocation tool control language and stores it in the exchange program relocation tool control language file 4 as exchange program relocation tool control language creation data C. (As described above, it becomes possible to easily solve the problem of placement of exchange programs in the main memory caused by changes in component programs during the conversation process in the TSS terminal with intelligent functions. ).

The exchange program is relocated in the main memory based on the exchange program relocation tool control language created as described above.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention creates an exchange program relocation tool control language using a conversation process in TSS mode, thereby making it possible to change the contents of the programs constituting the exchange program (program size and location of the changed program in main memory). It is no longer necessary to know the information (such as status) in advance, and you can simply refer to the necessary information via the TSS terminal when creating the exchange program relocation tool control language. Manual work is no longer involved in the process of creating the exchange program relocation tool control language, making it possible to accurately grasp the situation in a short time when creating the exchange program relocation tool control language, reducing the time required to create the exchange program relocation tool control language. (In turn, the time required to relocate the exchange program can be shortened.)

In addition, since the TSS terminal has intelligence such as automatically creating an exchange program relocation tool control language in a predetermined format when an instruction is given to change the contents of the exchange program (change instruction), the exchange program This has the effect that an operator can create an exchange program relocation tool control language without requiring specialized knowledge regarding the creation of a relocation tool control language.
