Abstract

PURPOSE:To link plural programs dynamically by generating an operating parameter to be supplied to a following program from the output data of the program processed precedingly by an operating parameter generating program. CONSTITUTION:A desired result can be obtained by executing four processing programs (11-14) sequentially in a computer, and the processing programs (11-14) perform processings to input or output data (1-5), respectively. Also, the operating parameters (22-24) of the following programs are generated by two operating parameter generating programs 32 and 34 without interposing the assistance of an operator. Therefore, the four processing programs (11-14) are linked dynamically, and executed successively. In such a way, it is possible to save time and labor by the operator and to obtain the desired result in a short time.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a link system for controlling the execution of a plurality of programs processed on a computer, and particularly to a dynamic link system based on program parameters.

[Prior Art] Generally, when a computer performs a task, a plurality of programs are sequentially linked and processed to obtain a desired result.

However, depending on the process, it may be impossible to determine the operating parameters of the next program to be executed without looking at the process results of the preceding program.

In such cases, in conventional link systems, individual programs are separated one by one, and a human being executes them while sequentially giving operating parameters.

[Problems to be Solved] The conventional link system mentioned above has the following problems.

(2) The operating parameters of each program must be determined manually, and the operating parameters must be re-instructed to the computer based on that determination, which is time-consuming.

(2) Instructions to start execution must be given to the computer for each program, and it takes a long time to obtain the desired results.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and eliminates manual effort even in cases where the operating parameters of the next program to be executed cannot be determined without looking at the processing results of the preceding program. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a link system that can obtain desired results in a short period of time.

[Means for solving problems] In order to achieve the above object, the link system of the present invention has the following features:
processing program execution means for sequentially executing a plurality of processing programs; storage means for storing data output by the plurality of processing programs; and an operation parameter generation program execution means for executing an operation parameter generation program for generating operation parameters necessary for the processing program.

In other words, when processing multiple programs on a computer, the operating parameter creation program
The plurality of programs are dynamically linked by creating operating parameters to be given to the subsequent program from the output data of the previously processed program.

[Example] Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing program execution control of a link system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, 1 to 5 are data, 11 to 14 are processing programs, 22 to 24 are operating parameters, and 32.34 are operating parameter creation programs. In the above configuration, four processing programs 11 to 14 are sequentially executed on the computer. By executing step 14, the desired result is obtained. and,
Each of the processing programs 11 to 14 processes ° data 1 to
Up to 5 are processed manually or output.

In addition, the operation parameters 22 to 24 of the subsequent program
are created without human intervention by two operating parameter creation programs 32 and 34. As a result, the four processing programs 1.1 to 14 are dynamically linked and executed continuously.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the processing flow of the operation parameter creation program shown in the link system of FIG. 1.

In the figure, 41 is data output by the processing program, 42.43 is an output operation parameter, and 51.52
is the processing content.

Here, first, the data 41 output by the processing program is
From there, necessary data is read according to predetermined rules (processing 51). Then, the process 52) creates operating parameters 42, 43 necessary for the subsequent processing program according to predetermined rules.

In this case, the operating parameter creation program including predetermined rules is written in a compiler language such as FORTRAN. Further, the processing program is a normal application program placed on a computer.

FIG. 3 is a system configuration diagram when the link system of FIG. 1 is implemented on a computer.

In the figure, 61 is a main memory, 62 is a magnetic disk, 63 is a central processing unit, and 64 is a console consisting of a C'RT and a keyboard.

In the above configuration, the processing programs 11 to 1.1 and the operation parameter creation program 3 are stored on the main memory 61.
2.34 is loaded and executed sequentially according to the computer's O8. Also, data 1 is stored on the magnetic disk 62.
-5 and operating parameters 22-24 are placed.

Various arithmetic operations necessary for executing the program are performed by the central processing unit 63. Note that when manually instructing to start execution, etc., this is done via the console 64 consisting of a keyboard and CRT.

In this way, this embodiment includes a program that looks at the output data of a program previously processed on the computer and creates operating parameters necessary for the subsequent program according to predetermined rules. are doing.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the present invention allows multiple programs to be run by creating a program that creates operating parameters for a subsequent program from output data of a previously processed program according to predetermined rules. This has the effect of providing a link system that allows dynamic linking.

(1) There is no need to manually enter operating parameters and execution start instructions for each program. (2) Multiple programs are executed in succession, significantly reducing the time it takes to obtain the desired results. It is possible to improve the effect of shortening the time to .
