PURPOSE:To accurately and quickly update files by providing a data processor with a means for defining a word name to be inputted and an updating defining means for defining a word name to be updated. CONSTITUTION:The issue of slits is described as an example. A word name to be inputted based on a slit format is defined by an input defining means 12 and a word name to be updated in a file is defined by the updating defining means 28. When data are inputted at the time of practically inputting a slit, an input processing means 19 processes the input data correspondingly to the word name based on the definition of the means 12 and then starts a file processing means 21. The means 21 reads data (updating data) inputted correspondingly to the word name coincident with the word name defined by the means 28 and updates the file by the updating data.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a data processing device that updates or searches for and outputs files based on data input.

[Conventional technology]

The business operations of companies are diverse, and even in the same industry, the business content differs from company to company, and the business content differs depending on each workplace within the company. Therefore, the data generated in each business entity, The data required varies widely. Therefore, in modern companies, OA (office automation) is used as a means to process and manage this data at high speed.

equipment and office computers have been introduced.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, there have been a number of dissatisfaction with the companies that have introduced Combi to date. In other words, in companies that have introduced OA equipment, office combinations, etc., the computers output a large amount of useless accounting materials, and on the other hand, even though they have introduced office automation devices, There are many cases where it is not used effectively. This is something that many users who have installed Combi and -Yu have experienced. Such problems depend on the abilities and sensibilities of the SK or grammer responsible for the user's software.
Or, it can be based on the inadequacy of the user's requests @ Also, it takes a lot of effort, 9 hours, and money to design a system that meets user needs (data processing 70-, file system, file content, code system, etc.). Necessary〇An object of this invention is to enable easy system development and quick system expansion and maintenance.

[Means for solving conspiracy ffl]

This invention includes an input definition means (for example, table A in the embodiment) that defines a word salt to be input, an input processing means that inputs and processes data based on the definition of this definition means, and a file that should be updated. Update definition means to define the word salt (
0 table in the embodiment) and a search definition means that defines the word salt to be searched for the file (for example, the CA
a table), a file processing means for reading input data in association with a word salt that matches the word salt defined by the update definition means or the search definition means, and updating or searching a file using this data; and output means for outputting the contents of nine files searched based on the definition of the search definition means.

[Effect]

For example, if you are in danger of issuing a sales slip, first define the word salt to be input based on the slip format using the input definition means, and then define the word salt to be updated in the file using the update definition means trap. Let's define it further. and,
When data is input at the time of final slip issuance, the input processing means processes the input data in association with the word salt based on the definition of the input definition means, and then activates the file processing means. Then, the file processing means reads the input data (update data) in association with the word salt that matches the word salt defined by the update definition means, and updates the file money with this update data. In this case, the file update may be performed all at once by an arbitrary command after the issuance of a plurality of slips, or may be performed sequentially for each data input.

On the other hand, for example, if you want to search the contents of an inventory file, first define the word salt to be input as a search condition by the input definition means, and then define the word salt to be searched for the file by the search definition means. put. When data money is input during an actual search, the input processing means processes the input data (search data) in association with the money word name based on the definition of the input definition means, and then activates the file processing means. Then, the file processing device reads the search data input in association with the word salt that matches the word salt defined by the search definition means, and searches for files using this search data as a condition. The contents retrieved from the file are output by the output means.

Therefore, the definition for the input processing means and the definition for the file processing means can be defined completely independently.
The definition setting becomes very simple. In addition, either an update definition or a search definition can be defined for the file processing means, and the usage of the device can be expanded.

(2) Operation Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained.

First, we will explain the operations when issuing sales slips for products or performing aggregation. When performing the above processing, first, the PS, ie, PSI, corresponding to the processing is specified by the input device 1o, and the specified signal is given to the edit processing device 11.

Based on the above designation, this Eddy and To processing device 11
The A-E table of Psi is read from the file 12 and loaded into the word memories 13 to 18, and the input processing device 19
Give a start command to. As a result, the input processing device 19 is activated and executes the input processing shown in the flowchart of FIG.

That is, the input processing device 19 checks the presence or absence of a startup command in the Stella 7'AI, and when a startup command is given from the AI processing device 11, the input processing device 19 performs a process based on the A table stored in the input power memory 13. Guides the input of data corresponding to the keyword salt or updated word name. Following the input guide, the operator sequentially inputs data corresponding to the keyword name of "product code" and each update word name of "quantity, unit price, and amount" from the input device 10 (step AJ). The input processing device 19 is an input device IQ.
The input data is processed and sequentially written into the work memory 26 as word data corresponding to each word name (step A, ?). Next, in step A4, it is determined whether the end designation key for instructing the end of data input for one slip has been operated on the input device 10, and if it has not been operated, the process returns to step A2 and the same process is repeated. When the end designation key is operated, the input processing device 19 outputs a start command to the file creation device 21 (step A5
). Thereafter, the input processing device 19 returns to step 7'AI and prepares for the next activation command.

The file creation device 2 is activated by a startup command from the input processing device 19, and creates a maintenance record for file updating according to the flowchart of FIG. That is, the file creation device 21 performs step B in FIG.
1, the presence or absence of a startup command is determined, and when a startup command is given from the input processing device 19, first, it is determined whether or not the CA table that defines real collation for the master file 29 is set in the real input Cowart memory 15a. If the CA table is not set, it is further determined whether six tables defining patch updates are set in the file word memory 16 (step BJ).
). If table 6 is not set either, the process returns to Stella fB1 without any processing. In this case, there are six tables, so the first record data of the plurality of record data consisting of word data written to the work memory 26 by the input processing device R19 is specified.
), for example, as shown in Figure 6, the process of creating maintenance record data for file updates, which includes data indicating the file name, keyword salt, update word name, and code indicating the update type in the code, is performed. and register it in the maintenance file 27 (step B5.B).
6). After that, it is determined whether the creation process of maintenance record data for all the record data held in the work memory 26 has been completed (step B7), and if it has not been completed, the next step is to specify the record data.
B8), return to step B5 and repeat the same process. Thereafter, when it is determined in step B7 that processing for all record data has been completed, the process returns to step B1 and prepares for the next activation command.

As described above, the file processing device 21 sequentially creates maintenance record data based on the word data stored in the work memory 26, and sequentially stores each of the created maintenance record data in the maintenance file 2.
7Register for VC. The above registration is performed every time each slip is issued, and as a result, all maintenance record data created in conjunction with the issuance of a plurality of slips is registered in the maintenance file 27. Thereafter, the input device @Io gives an update command to the refile update device @x8 to execute an update process for patch processing, thereby starting the file update device 28.

When the file update device @2B is given an update command for patch processing, it sequentially reads the maintenance record data registered in the maintenance file 27, and based on the file name data of each maintenance record data, the ``Product sales file'' is specified, and based on the update type code, the ``Total'' update process is performed using word data corresponding to the keyword salt and the updated word name.

According to the data processing device of this embodiment, when issuing a slip at the time of product sales, if you set ps in advance to define that file update processing is to be performed, arbitrary changes can be made to the file. Files can be updated all at once, and later files can be updated all at once without interfering with the processing speed when issuing slips. Moreover, the internal processing of the device includes input processing of data corresponding to the word name (processing in the input processing device 19), and processing of creating maintenance record data so that the file can be updated later based on the input data. (Processing in the file creation device 21) are completely separated, so definition settings for each of the above processes are easy. That is, to define the above ps, it is only necessary to define the input definition of update data (AI list and update definition (0 table) for the file) using parameters such as word names, so the definition setting is very simple.

By the way, even if the above-mentioned device is configured to perform update processing on files, the contents of the file are searched and read out on the display screen, the read contents are checked, and the corresponding file is updated. , for example, if you want to update the inventory file, etc. Therefore, the data processing device of this embodiment can perform file search processing using its configuration as is.

Next, an explanation will be given of an example of a process in which a product is shipped after checking the stock of the product. When performing the above processing, first, the ps corresponding to the processing, that is, PSJ, is specified by the input device 10, and the specified signal is applied to the edit processing device 11.

Based on the above designation, this Eddy and To processing device 11
Read the A-E table of PSJ from file 12 and read out the A-E table of PSJ from file 12,
Input table A shown in b) into the word memory 13, and input table A shown in FIG.
) is stored in the processed word memory 14 as shown in FIG. 3(d).
The CA table shown in the real input Cowart memory 15 & 3rd
The C8 table shown in the figure (・) is real processed word memory 15b
At the same time, table D and table E are also loaded into display word memory 17 and print word memory 18. Thereafter, a startup command is given to the input processing device 19. This activates the input processing device 19 and prepares for data input from the input device 10.

When the input processing device 19 receives the activation command, it performs the input processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. 4 as described above. That is, the input processing device 19 inputs the input word memory 1
Data corresponding to the keyword name or updated word name is input based on the A table stored in 3. At this time, the keyword name is "product code" and the 91 update word name is "inventory quantity", so the operator follows this and enters the product code data r=114 for "watch" as the product for inventory inquiry. , and then inputs "≧100J (100 or more)" as stock quantity data through the input device 10. When the data input based on the above table A is performed, the input processing device f19 inputs the input product code data "=
11'' and inventory quantity data ``≧1004'i are written in the work memory 26 (see FIG. 7 (2)), and then the file creation device 21 is started.

The file creation device 21 performs the maintenance record creation process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 5 described above upon being given a startup command from the input processing device 19.

At this time, since the CA table is set in the real input card memory 14, YES is determined in step B2, and the real processing shown in FIG. 8 is executed (step B9).
). First, in step C1 of FIG. 8, it is determined whether the processing has been performed for table A or table B. At this point, table A has been processed, so proceed to step C2 and enter the keyword data l"=114 and the updated word data "≧
100J is read from the work memory 26 and the
Based on the CA table in d), a file update maintenance 1/:I-1'7'-date as shown in FIG. 7(3) is created and registered in the maintenance file 27. Thereafter, the file update device 28 is commanded to start up to execute update processing for real processing (step
3) Finish the process of step B9 in FIG. 5, and step !
BIK back.

The file update device 28 is a file creation device gt21.
The file update process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 9 is executed by the real process rounding activation command from . That is, the file update device 28 checks whether there is a startup command for real processing in step fD 1, and when a startup command is given from the file creation device 21,
Specify the "inventory file" in the master file 29 based on the file name data included in the maintenance record data registered in the maintenance file 27 (ST, GUD, ?) and determine the update type code. (Ste, fD 3). The update type code in the CA table above is "range matching", and in this case, proceed to Stella fD4 and the top two digits of the product code data stored in the "inventory file" above are r.
The record data of llJ (keyword data) is searched, and it is further determined whether the inventory quantity data is "100 or more" (updated word data) for the searched record data (step D5), and if it is satisfied, the work memory is Register on 30 (Stage, Gu D6). Thereafter, it is determined whether or not all record searches have been completed, and if not, the process returns to step 7'D4 to perform the next search. below,
Similar processing is performed to search for inventory products that match the keyword data and updated word data, and the head next work memory 3
0, and the registered contents are transferred to the display processing light 22 and displayed on the screen. In this case, the first two digits of the product code indicate the product category, and the product code with the first two digits of "11" indicates the "watch" category.

Therefore, “Wristwatch AJ (=11011),” “Wristwatch C
” (=11013), ro, ri AJ (=11021)
.

All product codes such as Clock BJ (=11022) are searched and the search answers are displayed on the screen.

Then, when the file update device 28 finishes the above-mentioned record search, the processing device 20f is started in step D.
8), then return to step DI to prepare for the next activation command.

When the processing device 20 is given a startup command from the file updating device 28 , it reads Table B from the processing word memory 14 and inputs it to the input processing device 19 . This input processing device 19 accepts the input of "number of orders" according to the above-mentioned table B.

Accordingly, the operator inputs order number data for each product from the input device IQ, for example, order number data "100" for product code l'-11011J, and order number data "100" for product code "11011J".
Enter order quantity data "50" for 022J. Then, the input device 19 writes the manually entered order quantity data into the work memory 26 as shown in FIG.

Aj). Then, when an instruction is given from the input device 10 indicating that the input of order quantities for all the products to be ordered has been completed, the input processing device 19 issues a startup command for real processing to the file creation device 2. Give (Step Person 4)
tA s ), return to step A1.

The file creation device 21 re-executes the process of step B9 in FIG. 5, that is, the maintenance record creation process during the real process as shown in FIG. 8, in response to the startup command for the real process. At this point, table B has been processed. Proceeding from step C1 to step C4, the first record data in the work memory 26 created based on the above table B is specified, and then a maintenance record area is prepared in the file creation device 21 (step C5). . After that, the above step C4
The keyword data and update word data of the record specified by are read from the work memory 26, and the read word data (product code = 11011. Quantity in stock = 100) is stored as "file name (inventory file)" and "type ( operation)” in the maintenance record area.
Nippori (Stage, Gu C6). Then, the data set in the maintenance record area is treated as one maintenance record data in the maintenance file 27.
(step 7'C7), and determines whether processing for all record data created in Bll has been completed (step, fc8). If not completed, specify other record data created in table B, and then proceed to step C.
Returning to step 5, maintenance record data creation processing is performed. In this case, other record data is stored in the work memory 26, so read out the record data (word data with product code ``110224'' and inventory quantity ``50'') and register it in the maintenance file 27. .After completing the processing for all records created in table B, the maintenance file 22 will contain the files shown in Figure 7 (4).
) is stored, a startup command for real processing is given to the file update device 28 (step CJ), and step B9 in FIG.
The process ends and returns to step B1.

The file update device 28 executes the process shown in FIG. 9 above in response to the above startup command. That is, when the file update device 28 is given a startup command for real processing, the file update device 28 updates the "inventory" in the master file 29 based on the file name data included in the first maintenance record data stored in the maintenance file 22. "file" is designated (step D2), and the update type code t is determined (step fD3). In this case, the update type code is "Aggregation", so proceed to Step D9 and search the "Inventory file" for record data that matches the keyword data included in the above maintenance record data. A word operation (step DJ O) is performed on the updated word data of the record data using the updated word data of the maintenance record data.

In this case, search the record data with the keyword data "11011" (watch A) from the "inventory file", and search for the record data with the keyword data "11011" (watch A), and use the updated word data, that is, the inventory number data "45".
Order quantity data l' of maintenance record data in 0J
--Tally 100j. And this total result (45
0-100=350) is negative or not (step D11), and if it is negative, the record data after the operation, that is, the record data with the keyword data "11011" and the updated word data r350J, is transferred to the work memory 3.
0 (step D12). Thereafter, it is determined whether the aggregation process using all the maintenance record data stored in the maintenance file 21 has been completely completed (step D13), and if it has not been completed, other maintenance record data is specified (step DJ4). Thereafter, the process returns to step D9 and the same process as above is performed. That is, in this case, the keyword data is searched for the record data of [ttozzJ (clock 13)] from the "inventory file", and the order quantity data l' of the maintenance record data is searched from the updated word data, that is, the stock quantity data "160". --50Jt- is tallied, and it is fully determined whether or not this tally result (160-50=110) is negative, and if it is not negative, the record data after the tally, that is, the keyword data, is l'-1102J and the updated word Record data with data “110” is temporarily registered in the work memory 30. After completing the aggregation process using all the maintenance record data in 27 in one maintenance file, the record data of the same keyword in the "inventory file" is corrected using the salt record data stored in the work memory 30 (step D15).

In the current example, the inventory number data for “Wristwatch Person” is “350”.
Then, the inventory quantity data for "Clock B" will be corrected to "110J."

This completes the file update process, and returns to step DJ to prepare for the next update activation. Note that if the aggregation result is determined to be negative in step Dll above, that is, if the inventory quantity data is less than the order quantity data,
Clears the recorded data temporarily registered in the work memory 30 (STEP D16), and outputs an NG signal to the display processing device 22 (STELLA fD17), for example, "Some items cannot be updated. A message such as "◇" is displayed, and then the process returns to step DJ to prepare for the next update process.

As described above, according to the data processing device of this embodiment, even if the device is configured in an optimal configuration to perform file update processing, it is defined that file search processing should be performed prior to file update. By setting the PS in advance, it is possible to immediately check the contents of a file or update the file immediately based on input of update data. Furthermore, the definition of ps above also includes the search condition input definition (A table), the update data input definition (B table), the search definition for files (CA table), and the update definition (C table).
Since it is only necessary to input and define Table B) using parameters such as word salt, the definition setting is very simple.

In the above-mentioned example of issuing a slip, the file creation device 21 starts processing after the word data for one slip is stored in the work memory 26, but the file creation device 21 starts processing after the word data for one slip is stored in the work memory 26. Processing may be started after word data for a plurality of slips have been stored.In short, regardless of the amount of data stored in the work memory 26, the file creation device 21 may start processing via the work memory 26. It suffices if the processing is performed independently.

Further, although the file update device 28 starts processing after all maintenance records are written in the maintenance file 27, it may also perform processing every time maintenance records for a number of codes are written. Processing may begin after minutes of maintenance records have been written.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to this invention, data input processing for the word salt and file processing such as file updating or file searching based on the input data are processed independently, so each of the processing becomes extremely simple, and each of the above-mentioned Definition settings for processing devices are greatly simplified, system design is simple, and the effort required for design can be significantly reduced. In addition, to define the processing contents for independent processing, it is sufficient to input a simple meter such as word salt.
