Abstract

PURPOSE:To align procedure items while putting them in order of a real processing for displaying by providing an arrangement processing part to rearrange the procedure items in order of a processing condition. CONSTITUTION:Contents are taken out of a processing condition table 122 of a storage part 12 by a procedure arrangement part 110 of a processing part 11, and discriminated by a processing condition discriminating means 111. When the processing condition exists in this discrimination, procedure items are retrieved by a correspondent procedure item retrieving means whether the procedure items corresponding to the processing condition is stored in a procedure item table 121 of the storage part 12 or not. A rearranging means 113 rearranges the retrieved procedure items to the head position of the procedure item. The result of such an arrangement processingis displayed at a display part 13. Thus, when the procedure items are executed and the processing of the processing condition is preferentially executed for some procedure items, the procedure items can be displayed while putting them in order of the real processing.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] Regarding the method of arranging the execution order of procedure items in an interactive program creation system in which item procedures defined by a display screen are processed, processing conditions may not be processed depending on the procedure item when executing the procedure item. The purpose is to provide a method for arranging and displaying procedure items in the order of actual processing when they are executed with priority.

A display section that displays multiple procedure items to be executed; 3
A storage unit that stores I number of procedure items to be executed and a plurality of processing conditions to be checked when executing one procedure item in the order of execution, and a storage unit that is activated by operating an alignment key and arranges the procedure items in the order of the processing conditions. and a rearrangement processing section for changing the procedure items, and the procedure items rearranged in the execution order are displayed on the display section.

[Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a system for arranging procedure items in an execution order in an interactive program creation system in which item procedures defined by a display screen are processed.

In systems where programs are created interactively with an operator, processes are executed for multiple procedure items (each with a corresponding process defined) displayed on the screen. When executing such multiple procedure items, the processing environment is now checked in advance to ensure smooth processing for each procedure.
The order of each procedure item on the display screen (numbered) and the order of actual processing did not necessarily match.

[Conventional technology] FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of a conventional example.

The interactive program creation system has a hardware configuration as shown in Figure 4A. It consists of a computer (CPU and memory), nine display devices, a keyboard, and an auxiliary storage device such as a disk, and the user creates a program by operating the keyboard while looking at the display screen.

Conventionally, when running a program created by a user, the fourth
As shown in Figure B, each procedure item defined corresponding to the input program is displayed in order.

In this order, the execution order is sorted after the user inputs it, but conventionally, processing is arranged in ascending or descending order by comparing the magnitude relationship of the item numbers attached to the procedure items to be sorted. The results were displayed on the display device. FIG. 4B shows an example of the arrangement in descending order. Note that when executed after this sorting is done, it is executed in the sorted order.

On the other hand, a method has been proposed in which, when processing each procedure item defined for a program created by a user, it is checked in advance whether the environment is set up so that the processing can be executed without any problems. . In such check processing, a check is performed to determine whether predetermined conditions (hereinafter referred to as processing conditions) are satisfied for the procedure items that need to be checked during the processing of the procedure items of each program. .

For example, in the case of a procedure item (program) that inputs and processes data, it is checked whether or not an area for storing data to be manually input is secured. In addition, in the case of a procedure item that processes nine characters, a check is made in advance to see if the target character data is of a predetermined size and in a predetermined character format.

Such processing conditions are prepared for procedures that need to be checked in advance and are executed preferentially before the processing of the corresponding procedure item.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The plurality of processing conditions described above are prepared in a predetermined processing order, and when processing for a plurality of procedure items is executed in accordance with the order of the processing conditions, it is difficult to use the processing conditions. The order of procedure items entered by the person and displayed on the display screen (
(including the order in which they are arranged in terms of size) and the order in which the processing of procedure items including the processing of processing conditions is actually executed - In other words, the order of procedure items input by the user is changed from the conventional order. Even if the item numbers are sorted by size, processing conditions that have no size relationship cannot be sorted according to the execution order.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a method for arranging and displaying procedure items in the actual processing order when, depending on the procedure item, processing of processing conditions is executed with priority during execution of the procedure item.

[Means to solve the problem] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the principle of the present invention.

In the figure, 10 is an alignment instruction input, 11 is a processing unit, 11
0 is a procedure alignment section, 12 is a storage section, 121 is a procedure item table, 122 is a processing condition table, and 13 is a display section.

The present invention sequentially retrieves processing conditions from the processing condition table 122 by inputting an order to arrange the five procedure items before execution, and if a procedure item corresponding to the processing condition exists, moves that procedure item to the top. This is how the alignment is performed.

[Operation] When the alignment instruction manual 10 inputs the input to the processing section 11, the processing section 11
The procedure sorting unit 110 starts. The sorting unit 110 extracts the first content from the processing condition table 122 in the storage unit 12. The retrieved contents at the beginning are determined by the processing condition determining means 111.

In this determination, whether processing conditions exist (processing condition settings/
If the procedure item exists, the procedure item corresponding to the processing condition is stored in the procedure item table 12 of the storage unit 12.
The corresponding procedure item search means 112 searches for whether or not it is in 1. When the corresponding procedure item is retrieved, the reordering means 113 reorders the retrieved procedure item to the top position of the procedure items.

Next, 1 discrimination processing is performed in the same manner for the next processing condition in the processing condition table 122, and is executed for all items in the processing condition table 122.

In the example of the table in the storage unit 12 in FIG. 1, the processing condition a(
Check processing for procedure item A) is set to "Yes", so the corresponding procedure item table A is set to "No" for the 0th order processing condition that is placed at the top position. Therefore, procedure item B is not rearranged.

Furthermore, the next processing condition C (corresponding to procedure item C) is "Yes"
Since the procedure item A is set to , the order is rearranged and the item is moved to the next step after the procedure item A. The results of the alignment process as described above are displayed on the 7 display section 13. In this example rA
, C, B, and DJ are displayed.

When procedures are executed in this state, the processes are executed in the order displayed on the 1 display section, but in reality, when processing a procedure item for which a process condition has been set, the process condition is processed preferentially. In the example of Figure 1, 'a, A, c, C,
B and DJ are executed in this order.

[Example] FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an example, and FIG. 3 is a specific example of a table.

In FIG. 2, 20 is a storage device, 21 is a processing device, 2
2 represents a keyboard, and 23 represents a display device.

The storage device 20 in FIG. 2 includes a check process name table 202 corresponding to the process condition table 122 in the principle configuration of FIG. 1, and a procedure item table 1 in the principle configuration.
A procedure name table 203 corresponding to 21 is stored.

Specific examples of these tables are shown in Figures 3A and 3B. In the check process name table in FIG. 3A, each address from 001 to 004 has check process 5. They are arranged according to the execution order of Chain 2... In addition, in the example of the procedure name table shown in FIG. 3B, processes 1. Processing 2... are arranged.

First, the procedure items are displayed on the display device 23 in the same order as they are stored in the procedure name table shown in FIG. 3B. When the user operates the alignment key on the keyboard 22, the signal is transmitted to the processing device 21, and the alignment process is activated. When the sorting process starts, the first check process in the check process table is read (210).
. As a result, the beginning of the check process name table 202 in the storage device 120 is read into the check process name reading area 201. Next, check whether a check process exists in the check process name read in this $n area 201 (for example, it is displayed by the presence or absence of a flag) (211), and if it exists, a procedure with the same name as the check process is The procedure name table 203 is searched to see if it exists (212).

In this search, I want to determine whether there is a procedure with the same name.21
3) If there is, move the corresponding procedure name in the procedure name table 203 to the beginning if it is the first one (214). This process stores a pointer representing the beginning of the procedure name in a register (not shown) in advance, The procedure name moves to the beginning (
The remaining procedure names are shifted later), and by incrementing the pointer value, that pointer can be referenced when moving the procedure name of the ninth order.

If the movement of the procedure name in the procedure table is completed, and if there is no procedure name with the same name in determining procedures with the same name (213), return to reading the next check process name in the check process table (210). Similar processing is performed, and when all of the check processing name table 202 has been processed, one procedure is displayed (215). Due to this.

The contents that have been sorted in the procedural salt table 203 of the storage device 20 are output to the display device 23 and displayed, and the sorting process is completed.

In the case of the specific example of the table shown in FIGS. 3A and B,
C in Figure 3 is caused by moving the procedure due to the alignment process.
The execution order of procedures is sorted like 0.

[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, in a system in which a user program is created interactively, even when the order of procedures does not match the execution order due to check processing, the procedures can be executed in the order of check processing. Can you rearrange the 5 procedures? 1.91 operations are not required, and the user can more easily grasp the order of procedure execution.
