〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 4 is a system configuration diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a host system, 2 is a terminal system, 3 is a local file connected to the terminal system 2, and 4A to 4C are central files connected to the host system 1. In addition, the above central file 4A
~For 4C, 4A is the spool file, 4B is the S
The YSOUT data management file 4C will be referred to as the SYSOUT data storage file.

Figure 1 is an explanatory diagram showing an overview of the operation of this embodiment, and Figure 2 (
a) to (c) are flowcharts showing details of the operation;
The figure is a diagram showing details of each management table to be described later. Hereinafter, the operation of each part of this embodiment will be explained in detail using FIGS. 1 to 3.

First, the name of the jib to be processed is registered as shown in FIG. The user selects the SYSOUT data to be processed by this system, and
Job name that outputs T data and output SYSO
Input the UT data list name and storage optical file name (step 11).

This process may be batch processing or input from a workstation. In addition, the list name is S
In order to make it easier for the user to determine which SYSOUT data to select when extracting and transferring a subset of YSOUT data to a workstation, the corresponding list name is displayed instead of the job name.

SY shown in Figure 3(a) for the input job name.
It is checked whether the same job name has already been registered in the management table in the SOUT data management file 4B (step 12.13). If the same name has already been registered, the corresponding field in the management table is updated with the newly input information (step 15). If the same name is not registered, it is regarded as a new registration, additional registration is performed at the end of the management table, and this process is completed (step 14).

Next, the 0 process, which is the SYSOUT data storage process shown in FIG. 1(b), is activated when the SYSOUT data is output from the core system to the spool file 4A (step 21).

The SYSOUT data output to the spool file 4A is the target data of this system, but it is necessary to refer to the management table in the SYSOUT data management file 4B and check whether the same job name is registered. (Step 22).

If it is not registered, it is considered not to be subject data.
The processing after this step is not performed, and the processing ends. If it has been registered, a determination flag is used to check whether SYSOUT data has already been captured and stored, or new SYSOUT data has been registered (steps 23 and 24).

If the previous data has already been stored, in order to replace it with the new data, the stored sys is created based on the file name set in the management table.

Delete the UT data and also clear the corresponding field in the management table (step 25).
If the SOUT data is not stored, the next step is processed. That is, in order to determine the storage optical file for the SYSOUT data extracted from the spool file 4A, the management table in the SYSOUT data management file 4B is referred to.

A storage optical file name corresponding to the job name is selected and determined (step 26).

Based on the file name determined in step 26, an empty area of the corresponding file is searched and the SYSOUT data is stored there (step 27), and at the same time, the management table (No. (See Figure 3 (b)), the registered SYSOU
By setting the address, length, etc. of T data,
The management table and the SYSOUT data are linked (step 28), and the process ends.

Next is the process of extracting and transferring SYSOUT data to the workstation shown in FIG. 1(Q). The user issues a request to retrieve SYSOUT data from the workstation (step 31). All list names corresponding to the job names registered in the management table of the SYSOUT data management file 4B are transferred to the workstation concerned (step 32).

The workstation displays a list of the list names that have been sent, and allows the user to select the list name that he or she wishes to extract from among them (step 33). The list name selected by the user is converted into a job name using the management table in the SYSOUT data management file 4B, and the sys having that job name is converted.

In order to know which file the UT data is stored in, step 34), select the SYS specified from the file.
Extract the OUT data and transfer it to the workstation. The workstation is connected to the forwarded SYSOUT
Temporarily store the data in work file 3 (Step 3
5), and display it on the corresponding workstation and have the user select the necessary data (step 36).In this case, as a method to select the necessary data, the relative number of columns from the first character and the length of the item are displayed on the corresponding workstation. There are methods such as having the user input the data and item name, or creating a map by defining the screen for each applicable list in advance and having the user select the necessary data from that screen.

The locations (fields) selected by the user from the work file 3 through these operations are moved to the local DB and stored. At the same time, the data in the work file is deleted (step 37), and the process is completed by 0 or more.

According to the above embodiment, S output from the core system
YS OUT data can be directly stored in the user's workstation in the necessary location accurately and quickly without using paper, and the user can then use the functions of the workstation to process and analyze the data themselves. can.

In the above embodiment, the SYS OUT data is stored in a file for each purpose and then the user is allowed to select it.
If the T data is known, it is possible to secure the data without bothering the user by registering it in the user's mailbox using the e-mail system, and the user can freely Can be taken out at any time.

In the above embodiment, after the user extracts the SYSOUT data from the SYSOUT data storage file, the sys.

The UT data remains without being deleted from the file, and the storage or deletion of data is left to the discretion of the administrator. By allowing the user to specify whether to save or delete the data themselves at the time of extraction, the data can be deleted immediately when it is no longer needed, thereby eliminating wasted resources.

Furthermore, when extracting SYSOUT data, it is possible to collect i-collection on a page-by-page basis, which eliminates the need to import unnecessary pages, and the screen during import operations is displayed efficiently, so there is no need to scroll the screen. This eliminates unnecessary operations such as
