Abstract

PURPOSE:To simply change a set parameter by comparing the contents of a parameter inputted to an input area with the contents of the parameter in a file, and in the case of the non-coincidence, updating the contents of the parameter in the file with the contents of the inputted parameter. CONSTITUTION:A command designated in accordance with the information of a file 10 storing the command of a defined procedure processing is displayed on a screen 9 and the screen display position of respective parameters in the command is corresponded to the maximum size of the parameter. The input area of the width of the parameter size is set to the position of the parameter to which the command displayed on the screen 9 is designated and to the input area, the contents (value) of the parameter to be changed are inputted. The normality/abnormality of the inputted parameter is checked, further, when the contents of the inputted parameter and the contents of the parameter set to the file 10 are not the same, the contents of the parameter of the file are updated. In such a manner, the set parameter of the defined procedure processing command can be easily changed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Summary] This invention relates to a command parameter update method defined for procedural processing in an information processing system.

The purpose is to provide a means to easily change the set parameters of defined procedural processing commands.

Regarding the defined procedural processing commands.

Symbolize each parameter included in it, manage the contents of the set parameters in a file, and manage character strings other than parameters in the command in a file, and execute the command on the screen based on the information in the file. and a first process of displaying.

A second process that detects the two-screen display position for each parameter in the command and stores it in association with the parameter size, and sets an input area with the width of the parameter size corresponding to the specified parameter display position on the two screens. The third process is to input the contents of the parameter into the set input area.
and a fifth process that compares the contents of the parameters input in the input area with the contents of the parameters in the above file, and updates the contents of the parameters in the file with the contents of the input parameters if they do not match. It was configured to run sequentially.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a command parameter update method defined for procedural processing in an information processing system.

When a certain processing function is proceduralized and defined as a command, it is necessary to set parameters for 5 processing conditions. The present invention has realized a parameter update method that can efficiently change these parameters.

[Conventional technology]

In general information processing systems for OA processing, in order to make operations more efficient, it is possible to define a certain OA processing function as one command and create a procedural system that allows the corresponding OA processing to be executed automatically. ing. For example, the OA processing function of "copying A to B to C" can be defined as a command. Here, A, B, and C are parameters serving as processing conditions.

For such commands, specific processing conditions must be set using parameters, but this is accomplished by calling up a command-specific parameter input function from a menu during the OA processing of each command, and inputting the parameters. ing. in this case.

The entered parameters are displayed on the screen.

FIG. 4 shows a conventional procedural processing command creation process.

In Figure 4 (al), 1 is the screen, 2 is the object (statement) created by the user, "Update list DEF", where "DEF" represents the parameter list name. Create the command to be defined by updating the parameter section.

In FIG. 4 (bl), 3 is a menu called to update the object, and the update function is activated here.The menu is displayed in a predetermined window on two screens.

Figure 4 (In C1, 4 is the input area displayed for updating, and the list name of the parameters to be updated is “ABC”.
” is set.

In FIG. 4(d), 5 is the updated command "update list ABC", which becomes a procedural processing command by the definition operation.

Next, FIG. 5 shows a conventional method for modifying some of the parameters set in a command as shown in FIG.

FIG. 5(a) corresponds to FIG. 4 (dl), and 5 is a defined command having the list name "ABC" as a parameter.

In FIG. 5(b), 6 is an edit menu.

Indicates the state in which the correction function has been activated.

In Fig. 5 rc+, 7 is the input area called after the modification function is activated, and shows the state where the list name, which is the parameter to be modified, has been changed to 1ABCD''.This input area 7 is used as an option sheet. Created for each parameter.

In FIG. 5 (dl), 8 indicates the command "update list 1-ABCD" which is the modification result.

In the examples shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the command includes one parameter, but if there are multiple parameters, the option sheet in the input area is changed for each parameter to update or partially modify it.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the conventional parameter input method for a defined procedural processing command, if you try to change some of the parameters that have already been set, the menu is called up and the parameter input function specific to that command is restarted to update the parameters. There is a problem in that resetting must be performed, and when there are many parameters, the number of input range switches increases, making the operation complicated.

An object of the present invention is to provide a means for easily changing the set parameters of defined procedural processing commands.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention provides a means for directly modifying the set parameters of a defined procedure processing command on a command displayed on a single screen, thereby making it possible to change the parameters without having to call a command-specific parameter input function. It is something.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the principle of the present invention.

In FIG.

9 is a display screen.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a file that stores defined procedural processing commands, encodes parameters included in each command, and manages the contents (values) of each parameter. In addition, strings other than command parameters are also managed.

11 is a first process of displaying a specified command on the screen 9 according to the information in the file IO.

12 is a second process for associating the screen display position (relative position) of each parameter in the command displayed on one screen 9 with the maximum size of that parameter.

13 is parameter display related information as a result of the second process.

14 is a third process of setting an input area having the width of the parameter size at the position of the designated parameter of the command displayed on one screen 9.

15 is a fourth process of inputting the content (value) of the parameter to be changed into the input area set on the second screen 9.

16 is the content (value) of the parameter manually entered in the input area.

17 checks the normality/abnormality of the input parameters, and further checks the contents of the manually entered parameters and the file 10.
The fifth process is to compare the contents of the parameters set in the file and update the contents of the parameters of the file if they are not the same.

18 is a sixth process of redisplaying the redefined command based on the updated parameters of the file 10.

[Effect]

According to the present invention, a parameter input area can be set on a command displayed on a single screen and manual operation can be performed directly, making the operation easy to understand and updating parameters efficiently, especially when there are a large number of parameters. becomes possible.

FIG. 2 shows a concrete example of the parameter updating operation according to the two methods of the present invention.

■ Edit menu 2211 on screen 9 to update parameters.
9 has been called and the correction function has been activated. This will put you in correction mode.

(2) is a state in which the input area is set on the command with the width of the parameter size. Setting of the input area is performed by specifying the position with the cursor and operating the execution key.

3 is a process of reflecting the result on the command after completing the modification input (redefinition by updating the file).

(2) is a repeated operation when modifying other parameters.

■ is a state in which the redefined command is displayed.

〔Example〕

FIG. 3 shows a flow of parameter update processing according to an embodiment of the present invention. This process is executed in the correction mode shown in FIG.

(In al, the file where commands are managed (the first
Parameter information of file 10) in the figure.

Create parameter display related information that associates the display position of the parameter in the command displayed on the screen.

In ('b), an input area for the parameter size width is set at the parameter position specified by the command cursor on the 9th screen.

In (C), parameter input processing to one input area is performed.

At +dl, the parameter check function is called.

The parameter check function has the function of checking whether the contents of the input parameters are normal or abnormal.

In (Q), separate the results based on the check results.

If the input parameters are abnormal, re-input is requested in (b), and if they are normal, (fl is executed).

In (f), the contents of the parameters of the file are updated with the contents of the input parameters.

(In the illusion, it checks whether other parameters in the command have been updated, and if there are other parameters to be updated ('b
), and if it does not exist, execute (h).

In (h), the command is redisplayed based on the updated file contents.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, the parameter update operation in a command becomes extremely simple, and the efficiency of processing such as OA processing can be improved.
