Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the number of user inputs, to display all specified data set information and to change the allocating order of data sets by correspondingly and collectively specifying data set names, volume names and order specification from the input area of a screen. CONSTITUTION:The input area 2 for data set names, volume names and order specification is displayed on the screen 1. The successive input of a data set name D1831ADATA, a volume name WORK01 and data set order '1' in the input area 2 is repeated to collectively specify plural data sets. Since the data set names, the volume names and the order specification are allocated to one screen, plural data sets can be specified by the small number of picture inputs, all the specified data set information can be displayed, the generation of a specification error can be prevented and the allocating order can be easily changed.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Regarding [Summary], data set names, volume names, and order specifications are associated and specified in multiple groups from the input area of the screen, reducing the number of user inputs, and all of the specified data set information is For the purpose of displaying and changing the allocation order of datasets, a screen with an input area where multiple sets of data set names, volume names, and data set allocation order specifications can be input is displayed. On this screen, enter the data set name, volume name, and order specification in the input area above,
Configure to perform allocation processing by specifying multiple datasets at once.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a method for collectively specifying a plurality of data sets on a screen.

[Conventional technology]

Dataset specification method for specifying a dataset In the include dataset specification and automatic call library dataset specification, multiple dataset information is often specified. In such a case, conventionally, as shown in the screen 21 on the left side of FIG. 3, one data set information (for example, data set name "01831.A, DAT
A”, the volume name “WO” where this dataset exists
RKOIo”, password for confidentiality “XXXX”
') and press the ENTER key to specify the input data set information, as shown in the screen 21 on the right side of FIG. 3. This cleared screen 2
The operation of manually inputting data set information from 1 to the next was repeated until there were no more data sets to specify (assign).

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Therefore, (1) when specifying a plurality of data sets, it is necessary to repeatedly input data set information one by one from the screen 21, resulting in a problem that the operation is troublesome. (2
) Since the specified data set information is cleared from the screen 21, there is a problem that the previously specified data set name, etc. is unknown, and it is easy to specify it redundantly or forget to specify it. (3) The problem is that the order in which dataset names are specified cannot be changed, and if the functional level is different, you are forced to specify all dataset information from the beginning.

The present invention allows data set names, volume names, and order specifications to be associated and specified in multiple groups from the input area of the screen, thereby reducing the number of user inputs, displaying all of the specified data set information, and assigning order of the data sets. The purpose is to enable change.

[Means to solve the problem]

Means for solving the problem will be explained with reference to FIG.

In FIG. 1, screen 1 has an input area (2) in which a plurality of sets of data set names, volume names, and data set allocation order specifications can be entered in association with each other.

[Effect]

As shown in FIG. .A, DATA”), the volume name in which this dataset name resides (e.g. “WORKOI”)
), and further specify the order of the specified data set (for example, “1
”) in order to specify multiple datasets at once.

Therefore, by specifying and assigning multiple dataset names, volume names, and order specifications on one screen 1, you can reduce the number of screen inputs, specify multiple datasets, and see all of the specified dataset information. It is possible to display and change the allocation order of datasets.

〔Example〕

Next, the configuration and operation of one embodiment of the present invention will be explained in detail using FIGS. 1 and 2.

In Figure 1 (a), screen 1 is an example of a screen for specifying an include, which includes the data set name (file name), the volume name where the data set exists (or an external storage device such as magnetic tape, or a direct access storage device). This screen has a key input area 2 for inputting a password (which may be a space, etc.), a password, and a data set order designation. In this embodiment, 15 sets of data set information are input to this key human power area 2. Note that the password is used to maintain the confidentiality of the relevant data set, and is used to determine the qualification to use this data set.

Next, the operation will be explained.

■ The user enters dataset information (for example, Dataset D1831.A, DATA'') and volume name ``WOI?'' from Screen 1. KO1", password "XXXX", and order designation "'1").

■ The user inputs the following data set information sequentially from the screen editor.

- After the user has finished inputting the necessary data set information, the user presses the ENTF and R keys.

Corresponding to this, Figure 1 (b) Data set allocation/
Concatenation processing is performed by the system.

In FIG. 1(b), (2) performs repeated processing 15 times. When the 15-time repetition process is completed, although not shown, the allocation/concatenation process is completed.

(2) determines whether there is a data set input. This means that the data set name field in input area 2 on screen 1 in Figure 1 (a) is searched in order from top to bottom to determine whether or not a data set name has been entered. ing. If yes, execute ■ and ■. If there is no data set, skip and execute step (2) (determine whether or not there is a data set input in the next column).

■ Allocates the data set.

■ Performs data set concatenation. This will concatenate the datasets in the order specified manually in the order specification field on screen 1 for the datasets assigned in step (■).
link), for example, as shown in FIG. 1(c).

Through the above process, the user specifies the data set name, volume name, password, and order multiple times in the input area 2 of screen 1 to specify multiple volumes, and the ENT
In response to pressing the ER key, the system allocates data sets in the order shown in FIG. 1(C).

Therefore, the user can quickly specify the designation and order of multiple data sets from the first screen 1 easily and without error.

FIG. 1(c) shows the result of allocating data sets in accordance with the order designation entered in the order designation field which is the input area 2 on the screen 1 of FIG. 1'(a).

Numbers 1 to 4 in the figure indicate the allocation order. here,
In the order specification field on screen 1, 1.3.2.4 from the top
．． 5.6, . . . 15, only those input in the data set name type are extracted and sequentially assigned according to the order designation input in the order designation field.

FIG. 2 shows an explanatory diagram of changing the allocation order of data sets. This shows how 1, 2, and 3 are initially specified in the order specification column from the top, but the order is changed to 2, ■, and 3 in an overwriting manner. In this way, by redisplaying screen 1 and changing the order designation, the order assignment explained in FIG. 1(c) is changed. In particular, if a dataset is composed of multiple members and members with the same name have different contents (when the functional level or improvement level is upgraded), change the order specification and change the allocation order of the dataset. By doing this, the first member name among the same members that make up the dataset is adopted (
(assigned), it can be easily changed and managed in response to functional level amplifiers, improved level amplifiers, etc.

There is an input area 2 in which multiple sets of specifications can be entered, and multiple data set information can be entered in this input area to specify the data.This reduces the number of screen inputs (and allows you to specify multiple data sets at once). , all data set information can be displayed to prevent specification errors, and the data set allocation order can be easily changed.
