Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate the need for minding an overlap with an automatic generated name in the other data item classification to each other, and to simplify the logic of a processing program by constituting the system so that each data item classification having possibility that the automatic generated name becomes the same refers to a consecutive number management table using the same mask pattern. CONSTITUTION:A mask pattern table constituted by collecting consecutive number management table reference mask patterns of every data item classification is generated by an initialization processing, and in that case, to the data item classifications having the same head character, the same mask pattern is allocated, and their consecutive number information is brought to single management so that processings of a check and updating can be executed by a single table reference. In such a way, even when automatic generated names of plural data item classification have the same head character, since those mask patterns are unified by a common mask pattern by the initialization processing, it is unnecessary to mind a mask pattern of the other data item classification having the same head character, and a single table reference processing will suffice.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Summary] The present invention relates to a name management method that is automatically generated to manage data items, etc. in a data processing system.

When referencing the serial number management table used for automatic generation management, the purpose is to eliminate the need to refer to the serial number management table multiple times using separate mask patterns for each data item type when there are multiple data item types with the same first character.

Sequence number management that manages the first character list of automatically generated names determined for each data item type and the sequence number information indicating whether it has been used or not for the sequence number uniquely added to the first character of the automatically generated base, according to the data item type. It has a table and a mask pattern list corresponding to the data item type used to refer only to serial number information belonging to a specific data item type in the one serial number management table.

In the initialization process, refer to the first character list above,
Detect data item types that use the same first character, and for each data item type that uses the same first character, unify each corresponding mask pattern in the mask pattern list above into one mask pattern, and unify the other mask patterns that are the same. For data item types for which no data item type using the first character is detected, a new mask pattern table is created by adopting the corresponding mask pattern in the mask pattern list.

In subsequent processing that refers to the serial number management table, the mask pattern in the mask pattern table created in the above initialization processing is used.

[Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a name management system that automatically generates names for managing data items and the like in a data processing system. In particular, in the present invention, the first characters of the names to be generated can be specified in duplicate.

To provide efficient serial number management means when automatically assigning unique numbers (serial numbers) to remaining plural characters.

[Conventional technology]

In a data processing system, in order to manage and process each data item displayed on the processing screen according to its type, the system identifies each data item and assigns it an automatically generated name (called an automatic generation group). Processing takes place.

Examples of data item types and automatically generated group formats are shown below.

(1) Input/output item: Rmmm (2) Output item: Wmmm (3) Key mat item: Kmmm (4) Fixed literal: Fmmm (5) Others: Smmm (6) Group item: MASmmm (7) Item group:
GRPmmm Here, the automatic generation base of the data item type in (1) to 5) is such that the first character of each is a fixed alphabetic character.

A three-digit number mmm is added to this.

mmm is assigned a unique number from 001 to 999 for each item.

In the case of data item types (6) and (7), up to three digits of alphabetic characters and three digits of numbers m m m are used.

By the way, the first character of each data item can be shared; for example, instead of the automatically generated first character W of data item type (2), the same first character R of the automatically generated base of data item type (1) is used. Similarly, the data item type (
Instead of the first character GRPO of the automatic generation base in 7), the first character MAS of the automatic generation base of data item type (6) can be used.

In order to uniquely manage the automatic generation base of each data item, the third
A serial number management table in bitmap format as shown in the figure is used.

The serial number management table in Figure 3 shows the status of 9 assigned and unused for each data item type (1) to (7) for the serial numbers 001 to 999 that can be used for the three-digit number mmm. It is expressed as 1.0.

When allocating a new automatic generation group to a certain data item, only the information of the corresponding data item type in the serial number management table is referred to, and one of the unused numbers is selected and allocated.

In order to refer only to the information of the corresponding data item type in the serial number management table, a mask pattern as shown in FIG. 4 is created. In this mask butter, only the column for the data item type to be referenced has a value of "1", and the rest has a value of "O".

FIG. 5 shows a processing flow of a conventional automatically generated name management method using a 0 serial number management table and a mask pattern.

The processing flow will be briefly explained below.

When processing is started at ■ and a processing request is made at ■, the request contents are identified and the next function is called based on the result. When a name assignment (automatic generation) request for a data item is made ■
The following allocation calls a processing function and when a release request is made for one name, the following release processing function is called, and when a name registration request is made, the following registration processing function is called and executed.

■Assignment is done by using a mask pattern that corresponds to the type of the target data item, and other mask patterns that have the same first character as the data item type, and therefore may produce the same name or pattern. The serial number management table is checked using the data item type mask pattern, and one empty serial number whose bit value is displayed as "unused" in any data item type column is selected.

In (2), one selected vacant serial number is combined with a predetermined first character to generate one name.

In ■, for each vacant serial number used in ■, each (
Change the bit value of the resource) to indicate "used".

In the release process (2), the serial number is extracted from the name requested to be released.

In ■, use the mask pattern of each data item type that has the same first character that may result in the same name pattern as the name to be released to Change all bit values to "unused" display.

In the registration process (2), a serial number is extracted from the name requested for registration.

In ■, using the mask pattern of each data item type that has the same first character that may result in the same name pattern as the name to be registered,
Set all bit values in the corresponding column of the serial number obtained in ``used''
Set to display.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the conventional automatic generation base management method, in order to eliminate duplicate generation of the same name pattern in processing such as allocating free serial numbers, releasing used serial numbers, and registering used serial numbers using a bitmap format serial number management table, Each time processing was performed, it was necessary to check each data item type that had the same first character, refer to the serial number management table using a separate mask pattern for each type, and read and update the bit values in the corresponding column. . For this reason, the conventional method.

It had the disadvantage that it took a long time to process.

When referring to the serial number management table used for automatic generation management, the present invention eliminates the need to refer to the serial number management table multiple times using separate mask patterns for each data item type when there are multiple data item types having the same first character. The purpose is to simplify processing and shorten processing time.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention creates a mask pattern table that compiles mask patterns for serial number management table reference for each data item type in an initialization process, and at that time, assigns the same mask pattern to data item types that have the same first character. This allows the serial number information to be managed in a single manner, allowing check and update processing to be performed with a single table reference.

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

In FIG.

1 is a list of the first characters of the automatic generation base and indicates the first characters specified for each data item type. In the example shown, the input/output item and the keymant item have the same first character “Ro”.
is used, and the group item and item group have the same first character “GRP”
is specified to be used.

2 is a list of mask patterns, which indicates a unique mask pattern that is originally defined for each data item type in order to refer to the 9 serial number management table.

The illustrated example of the mask pattern is expressed in hexadecimal notation, and each designates one specific bit position in the serial number management table.

3 is initialization processing, which refers to the first character list 1 to detect data item types that use the same first character, and to unify the corresponding mask patterns in the mask pattern list 2 into one mask pattern. In the example shown,
If data item types that use the same first character are found, use the mask pattern of the upper data item type to create a lower data ring.

Replace the mask pattern for each eye type and create a mask pattern table.

4 is a mask pattern table, in which each data item type having the same first character is assigned a single mask pattern.

5 is a serial number management table in bitmap format, in which multiple data item types having the same leading character have serial number information that indicates the used and unused states of each serial number mmm (001 to 999) using bit values. In some cases, only one column of bits is enabled, selected by a single mask pattern commonly used among them.

, 6 refers to the sequence number management table 5 using the mask pattern taken out from the mask pattern table 4 according to the type of data item for which the name is to be generated, selects an empty sequence number, and turns that bit ON. Make it.

7 is release processing, and 1 refers to the serial number management table 5 using the mask pattern taken out from the mask pattern table 4 according to the data item type of the name requested for release, and turns off the corresponding focus.

8 is a registration process, in which the serial number management table 5 is referred to using the mask pattern taken out from the mask pattern table 4 according to the data item type of the name requested for registration, and the corresponding bit is turned ON.

[Effect]

According to the present invention, even if the automatically generated names of multiple data item types have the same first character.

One serial number is assigned because those mask patterns are unified into a common mask pattern during initialization processing.

When referring to the serial number management table in each process of release and registration, there is no need to be aware of the mask patterns of other data item types having the same first character, and a single table reference process can be performed.

In the example shown in FIG. 1, in the automatically generated name first character list 1, for example, both the input/output item and the key mant item are set to produce an automatically generated name with the first character "Ro".

In mask pattern list 2, the mask pattern for the input/output item is "0010' (hexadecimal), and the mask pattern for the key cloak item is "0004° (hexadecimal), which are different. In the initialization process 3, these are set in the mask pattern table 4 of the upper input/output items.

Assignment is processing 6. Release processing 7. In registration process 8.

The same mask pattern “00
The serial number management table 5 is referred to using 10° (hexadecimal).

Therefore, “ooto” (hexadecimal) in the serial number management table
The bit position specified by is shared by the input/output item and the keymant item, and the field specified by '0QO4'' (hexadecimal) is not used and remains empty.

This simplifies the management of automatically generated groups having the same first character and speeds up the processing.

(Embodiment) FIG. 2 shows a processing flow of an automatically generated name management system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Below, each processing step indicated by {circle over (2)} to [phase] will be explained with reference to FIG.

When the process is started in (2), the initialization process (2) is performed.

In the initialization process (2), the first character list 1 and the mask pattern list 2 are referred to, and the presence or absence of the same first character is checked to create a mask pattern table 4.

If there is a processing request with 0, the content of the request is identified, and depending on the result, allocation calls either the release processing or registration processing function of process 9.

Allocation is processing.

Using the mask pattern taken out from the mask pattern table 4 in step (3) (a shared mask pattern if there is another data item type with the same first character), refer to the serial number management table 5 and search for an empty serial number from the 2 serial number information.

In (2), two names are generated by combining the first characters corresponding to the empty serial numbers found in (2).

In step 0, the serial number information on the serial number management table 5 corresponding to the vacant serial number used in step (2) is set to "used", and the process returns to step (2).

In the release process ■Extract the serial number from the name to be released.

0, the serial number management table 5 is referred to using the serial number extracted in step 20 and the mask pattern extracted from the mask pattern table 4 (a shared mask pattern if there is another data item type with the same first character); Change the setting of the corresponding serial number information to "unused" and return to ■.

In the registration process.

In [Phase], extract the serial number from the name to be registered.

[Phase] uses the serial number extracted in 5@l and the mask pattern extracted from 1 mask pattern table 4 (a shared mask pattern if there is another data item type with the same first character) to create serial number management table 5. Refer to , change the setting of the corresponding serial number information to "used", and return to ■.

The above operations are repeated for each processing request.

Only one mask pattern from the same mask pattern table 4 is used each time.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, data item types that may have the same automatically generated name refer to the serial number management table using the same mask pattern. There is no need to be aware of the duplication of information, the logic of the processing program is simplified, and the processing time is shortened.
