Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate the operation of configurational definition by updating an intermediate table according to the editing data of the insertion and deletion, etc., of an inputted program, and repeating the migration of a picture to the input picture of program configuration data again according to a request. CONSTITUTION:An intermediate table generating means 3 generates the intermediate table 2 by developing data in a program configurational definition file 1, and writes the data in an updated intermediate table 2 on the program configurational definition file 1. An input picture generating means 4 generates display picture data which inputs of the program configuration data based on the data in the program configurational data intermediate table 2. A program configuration display picture generating means 5 generates program configuration display picture data based on the data in the intermediate table 2, and a program configuration data input processing means 6 updates the data in the intermediate table based on the inputted updated data of program configuration. In such a way, it is possible to facilitate the edit of the program configuration.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] Regarding the editing method of the program configuration definition, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a program configuration data input screen creation means in which the program configuration definition is described, with the aim of facilitating the operation of editing the configuration definition. In the configuration management of the program as an intermediary, intermediate table expansion means creates an intermediate table by expanding the data of the program configuration data input screen creation means and writes the updated data of the intermediate table to the program configuration data input screen creation means 1; , a program configuration data input screen creation means for creating display screen data for inputting program configuration data based on the data in the intermediate table; and a program configuration for creating screen data for displaying the program configuration as a figure based on the data in the intermediate table. creating an intermediate table by developing a display screen creation means and a program configuration data input screen creation means based on intermediate table data based on input program configuration update data; A program configuration data input screen is created based on the intermediate table, and the intermediate table is updated according to the editing data such as inserting and deleting the program configuration input using this screen, and the program configuration display screen is graphically formatted according to the request. The configuration is configured to repeatedly display the program configuration data input screen and then move to the program configuration data input screen again according to the request.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to program configuration management, and particularly to a method for facilitating editing of program configuration and improving operability.

[Conventional technology]

Application programs are generally created as a collection of multiple hierarchical source modules written in a high-level language, each source module is translated into a machine language object module, and these are combined and edited to create an executable loader. It becomes a module.

Managing the configuration of all these modules is important in managing whether source modification and dehasing have been performed on all modules. However, in the past, the only way to do this was to read the file in which the configuration definition was written and display it, and there was no suitable tool.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

As mentioned above, in the past, there were no special tools to facilitate editing of program configurations, resulting in inefficient management.

An object of the present invention is to solve these conventional problems, facilitate editing of program configurations, and provide an easy-to-operate configuration definition editing method.

Create display screen data to input RAM configuration data.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a program configuration display screen creation means, which creates program configuration display screen data based on the data of the intermediate table 2.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a program configuration data input processing means, which inputs update data of the program configuration based on intermediate table data.

[Means to solve the problem]

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the principle of means for solving the above problem.

In the figure, 1 is a program configuration data input screen creation means, which stores program configuration definition data.

Reference numeral 3 denotes intermediate table creation means, which expands the data of the program configuration data input screen creation means 1 to create an intermediate table 2, and writes the updated data of the intermediate table 2 into the program configuration data input screen creation means 1.

4 is a program configuration data input screen creation means, which creates a program based on the data in the intermediate table 2. In the present invention, program configuration data input processing and program configuration display processing are divided, and image processing is also interactive processing. I made it possible. For this reason, a tabular program configuration data input screen is prepared that does not require manual processing of the program configuration data, and editing is performed using line commands such as insertion and deletion, and by moving the cursor. In the program configuration display process, after inputting program configuration data, the program configuration display screen is switched and displayed by operating one key.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing program configuration editing according to the present invention.

When editing of the program configuration definition is started, the program configuration data input screen creation means is read out and developed as an intermediate table (not shown), and a program configuration data input screen is created from the intermediate data and displayed.

■It is determined whether "Display program configuration" has been input according to the guidance display on the screen. If it is input to display, proceed to step ■; if there is no input, return to step ■.

■A program configuration display screen is created and displayed.

■It is determined whether "Input program configuration data" has been input according to the guidance display on the screen. If it has been input manually, the process returns to step ■; if there has been no input, the process is terminated.

The above process is repeated, and when the editing of the program configuration is completed, the intermediate data is written to the program configuration data input screen creation means and updated.

〔Example〕

The present invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to embodiments shown in FIGS. 3 to 8.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a system configuration of an embodiment of the present invention.

The central processing unit uses the main memory to control the CRT display device,
Controls the keyboard and magnetic disk storage device to display and edit program configurations.

A program configuration data input screen creation means is stored in the magnetic disk storage device.

FIG. 4 is a conceptual diagram showing editing/display processing of a configuration definition editor according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing program configuration editing/display processing according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 4, when the configuration editor is started, program information 11 and module information 12 are stored in the intermediate table 2 from the program information (PIF) file 10.
Expands to 0.

The program information 11 includes the following.
