Abstract

PURPOSE:To store many test packages with the small file capacity by cataloging a correction operating procedure set by a command given to a source for storing this procedure in a catalog file and then taking out the catalog information on the designated source as necessary for correction of the command. CONSTITUTION:The source information on the member name, the device class, the medium name, etc., and the command correction history are previously turned into the catalogs and registered in a catalog file 2 for the subject one of those sources filed in a source file 1. Then the catalog information is read out for the source as necessary and this relevant source is read out of the file 1 for execution of the command correction. Then the corrected source is obtained. Thus it is possible to deal with the storage of a large number of test packages with the small file capacity.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a data storage method for executing a test package, and particularly relates to a method for reducing and storing a large number of similar blocks such as a test package. .

[Prior art] Conventionally, this type of data storage method, for example, in the case of several hundred test packages, involves executing modification commands on more than a dozen basic JCL skeletons and saving the results in a library. , I was extracting what I needed from the saved package and running it.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] The conventional data storage method for executing a test package described above saves the results after the basic JCL skeleton executes the correction commands in a library, which makes it difficult to use large JCL skeletons. If the number of packages exceeds several hundred, it requires a very large storage area, and the disadvantage is that the files often overflow, and the storage file must be recreated each time.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a data storage method for executing a test package that requires less file capacity than when storing a large number of test packages in which a single command modification is applied to the source.

[Means for solving the problem] The data storage method for executing a test package of the present invention includes a reading means for reading the contents from a source file, and a history of source information and command modification read by the reading means. a source modification catalog means for cataloging the source modification catalog means; a catalog file writing means for writing catalog information created by the source modification catalog means into a catalog file; reading specified catalog information from the catalog file, reading the member again from the source file; A catalog file reading/executing means for executing a registered history of command corrections is provided.

[Operation] For the target source among the sources stored in the source file, source information such as its member name, device class, and media name, as well as the command modification history of the source, are cataloged in advance. and register it in the catalog file. Next, if necessary, this catalog information is read for the target source, the source is read from the source file, and command correction is executed to create a corrected source. In this way, it is possible to store a large number of test packages with a smaller file size than with conventional methods.

[Example] Next, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of a data storage method for executing a test package of the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows the form of a source information storage table possessed by the catalog file writing means 5 of this embodiment. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the form of a modification command history storage table possessed by the source modification catalog means 6 of this embodiment, and FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the processing of the catalog file reading execution means 4 of this embodiment.

The disk device 7 stores a source file 1 for storing the source source used in this embodiment, and a central processing unit 8.
It consists of a catalog file 2 that catalogs the source information read into the system and the history of its command modifications. The central control unit 8 includes a reading unit 3 that reads the source to be processed from the source file 1, and a source correction catalog unit 6 that registers the history of command corrections for the read source in a correction command history storage table (FIG. 3).
and a catalog file in which the source information read by the reading means 3 is registered in the source information storage table (FIG. 2), and the source information and the command modification history registered in the source modification catalog means 6 are written in the catalog file 2. It has a writing means 5 and a catalog file reading/executing means 4 which reads the source again from the source file 1, reads its command modification history from the catalog file 2, and executes the command. The input device 9 is a device for operation by an operator, and has an editor function for correcting the source command read by the reading means 3 and a function for displaying the corrected source by the command executed by the catalog file reading execution means 4. ing. Note that the source information storage table possessed by the catalog file writing means 5 shown in the second section is the same as that of the reading means 3.
The member name of the source read in is stored in the member column 201 of the table, the device class is stored in the device class column 202 of the source, and the medium name is stored in the medium name column 203 of the table. In addition, in the modification command history storage chifur shown in FIG. 3, the command for modifying the source read by the reading means 3 is stored in the command column 301 of the chifur, and the parameters of that command are stored in the parameter column 30 of the chifur.
2, and contents are added according to the command modification history.

Next, the processing procedure of the reading means 3, source modification catalog means 6, and catalog file writing means 5 will be explained with reference to FIG.

Upon starting the process, the reading means 3 first reads the source to be modified from the source file l (step 40).
1), the source modification catalog means 6 starts the command modification catalog function for the loaded source (
In step 402), it is determined whether or not to perform the source modification catalog (step 403). If not, the process proceeds to normal screen operations (step 408), and if it is to be performed, the source modification history is collected using commands (step 403).
At this time, cursor movement other than the command line is disabled), and the results here are stored in the modified command history storage table (step 404). If the process is to be interrupted during cataloging of source corrections (step 405), the interruption is designated and normal screen operations are performed (step 408). If not interrupted, step 405),
Step 406) to determine whether to modify the command or terminate the command.
, if not completed, the process returns to step 404 and repeats the same operation. When finishing the command modification, a catalog write specification is performed, and the catalog file writing means 5 stores the information of the source in the source information storage table,
The contents of this table and the modified command history storage table are written to the catalog file 2, and the process ends.

Next, the processing procedure of the catalog file reading execution means 4 will be explained with reference to FIG.

The catalog file reading execution means 4 reads the members of the source information written by the catalog file writing means 5 from the catalog file 2 in response to an instruction via the input device 9 (step 501), and reads other members of the source information stored in the source information storage table. The source is read again from the information (step 502), and the command history stored in the modified command history storage table is automatically executed for the source (step 503), and expanded to the modified source. At step 504), the process ends.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the present invention catalogs the operation procedure for modifying a source using commands, stores it in a catalog file, and retrieves the catalog information of a specified source when necessary. By modifying commands, it is possible to save the file in a smaller file size than that required when saving the results of modifying a large number of sources.
