Abstract

PURPOSE:To shorten execution time by converting from a source format to an object format and executing the procedure of the object format when the routine processing executed by a command type end user language is made into a procedure. CONSTITUTION:A user inputs an instruction to convert the format of the procedure from a keyboard 2 and conveys it to a procedure calling part 11. A calling part 12 develops a procedure 71 registered in a procedure registering library 7 onto a main memory area. A procedure format converting processing part 12 successively analyzes respective commands for respective commands in the developed procedure 71 and converts them to the object format. After conversion, an object format procedure registering part 13 registers the commands into an object format file 8 as an object format procedure 81. An object format procedure executing part 15 is coupled with the developed procedure 81 dynamically, executes the procedure and the processed result is displayed on a CRT display 4.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a command-based end-user language translation-based execution scheme.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, when performing routine processing using a command-type end user language, multiple commands required for that processing are registered as one procedure in a library.
The method of executing the procedure was to call and execute the procedure in source format.

Here, the conventional procedure execution procedure will be explained with reference to FIG. In this conventional example, the keyboard 2 and the CR
The T-display 4 and the printer 5 are connected to the post computer 1 via an online line 6, and the host computer 1 includes a procedure calling section 161 and a procedure execution section 17. Further, the procedure registration library 7 has registered therein a procedure 71 created in a command-type end user language.

When the user inputs an instruction to execute a procedure using the keyboard 2, the instruction is passed to the procedure calling unit 16 in the host computer 1 via the online line 6, and the procedure calling unit 16 registers it in the procedure registration library 7. Expand the procedure 71 that has been executed into the main storage area. As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 5, the procedure execution unit 17 receives a procedure execution command (step 40).
The parameters are checked for each command (step 41), and if there are no errors, each command is analyzed and executed in sequence (steps 42 and 43), and the processing results are displayed on the CRT display 4 and printed on the printer 5. It was a method. Further, if there is an error, error processing should be performed (step 44).

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the conventional command-type end user language execution method described above, each time a procedure is executed, the parameters of each command are checked and analyzed to realize the function, so it takes time to execute one command. However, the disadvantage is that it takes time to obtain processing results.

Furthermore, even when the same procedure is executed several times, the command analysis is performed, so there is a drawback that the execution efficiency of the procedure is low.

[Means to solve the problem]

The command type end user language translation execution method of the present invention is a method in which routine processing performed using a command type end user language is registered as a procedure in a library and executed, and the procedure registered in the library is stored in the main storage area. A procedure caller that expands, a procedure format conversion processor that analyzes commands in the procedure expanded by the procedure caller and converts them into object format, and converts the procedure converted by the procedure format converter to an object format file. An object format procedure registration unit for registering an object format procedure, an object format procedure calling unit for expanding the object format procedure registered in the object format file into a main storage area, and an object format procedure execution unit for executing the procedure. It is composed of the following characteristics:

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, keyboards 2 and 3 connected to a host computer 1 via an online line 6,
RT display 4 , printer 5 , procedure calling section 11 in host computer 1 , procedure format conversion processing section 12 , object format procedure registration section 13 , object format procedure calling section 14 , and object format procedure execution section 15 , a procedure registration library 7 that stores procedures created in a command-type end user language, and an object format file 8 that stores procedures converted into object format.

First, a processing procedure for converting and registering a source format procedure created and registered in a command type end user language into an object format procedure will be explained.

The user inputs an instruction for converting the procedure format using the keyboard 2. This instruction is sent to the host computer 1 via the online line 6 and passed to the procedure calling section 11. Upon receiving this instruction, the procedure calling unit 11 expands the procedure 71 registered in the procedure registration library 7 onto the main storage area. Next, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 2, the procedure format conversion processing unit 12 receives a procedure format conversion instruction (step 21), and performs a parameter check on each command in the expanded procedure 71. (Step 22), and if there are no errors, each command is analyzed sequentially (Step 23).
> Conversion to object format (step 24).

After conversion, the object format procedure registration unit 13 registers it in the object format file 8 as an object format procedure 81. Also, if there is an error, error processing should be performed (step 25).

Next, the processing procedure when executing this procedure will be explained.

The user inputs instructions for executing the procedure using the keyboard 3. Object format procedure calling unit 14
Then, this instruction is received via the online line, and the object format procedure 81 stored in the object format file 8 is expanded onto the main storage area. As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 3, the object-format procedure execution unit 15 receives and accepts an instruction to execute an object-format procedure (step 31), and checks input values to formal parameters in the execution instruction (step 32). , if there is no error, execute the procedure by dynamically combining it with the expanded object format procedure 81 (step 33).
The processing results are displayed on the CRT display 4 or printed on the printer 5. Here too, if there is an error, error handling is performed (step 34).

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention, when converting routine processing performed in a command type end user language into a procedure, converts the source format into an object format and executes the object format procedure. This has the effect of reducing execution time and improving execution efficiency.
