Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate necessity for being conscious of the size of a display screen or the size of a data to be sent by copying one part of the picture data to the other screen after cutting it, and editing the data in the destination of the copy. CONSTITUTION:When the character string data is transmitted from a host computer 1 to a terminal 2, the character string data 4 transmitted from the host is displayed on a terminal display screen 3. When an operator designates a character string data 5 of a desired range to be edited in this data 4, a picture 6 is prepared for displaying only the data 5. On the screen 6, the data of 100 lines is inputted at a maximum and when the edition is completed, only the head part of the picture 6 is copied to the range 5 designated by the operator. Then, the remained data is saved to a buffer provided in the picture 6.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention copies part of character string data sent from a host on a terminal display to another screen.

Data can now be returned to the copy source screen by editing character strings on the copy destination screen. This relates to data editing methods.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 5, when a host computer (11) and a terminal device (2) are connected, character string data sent from the host computer to the terminal device is displayed on the terminal display.

Next, the operation will be explained. Host computer (11
When data is transmitted to the terminal device (2), the data is displayed on the terminal display.

Next, when the operator edits, he moves the cursor directly on the character string data sent from the host computer and inputs from the keyboard.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Since the conventional character string editing format is configured to have two or more characters, the maximum number of characters that can be input by the operator is outside the display screen.

When entering more data than that, there are problems such as having to input the string data from the terminal side by sending the string data to the host in the middle and sending the string data on the next screen from the host to the terminal. there were.

This invention was made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is possible to input a large amount of data at once into the area where data transmitted from the host can be input, and it is possible to save a part of the input data. The purpose is to obtain equipment.

[Means to solve the problem]

In the character string data editing method according to the present invention, when an operator specifies a range of data sent from a host that he or she wants to edit, that range is copied to another screen, edited on the copy destination screen, and the two editing results are obtained. is returned to the screen displaying the data from the host, and some of it is saved in the buffer owned by the edited screen.

[action] In the character string data editing method applied to this invention.

Among the character string data sent from the host, the operator selects only the range he or she wants to perform, displays only that range, and inputs more data than the range specified by the operator on that screen. Since it is possible to input data and save the input data, it is possible to manually input a large amount of data at once.

[Embodiments of the invention]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In Figure 1, a host computer (1) and a terminal device (2) are shown.
), the character string data (4) sent from the host computer (1) is displayed on the terminal display screen (3), and the character string data (4) that the operator wants to edit is displayed on the terminal display screen (3). This is a state in which the column data range (5) is specified. In FIG. 3, a screen (6) has been created that displays only the range (5) specified by the operator.

Next, the functions of this invention will be explained.

When the host computer (1) sends character string data to the terminal device (2) in Figure 1, the character string data (4) sent from the host appears on the terminal display screen (3) in Figure 2. Show wo. The operator selects the range of character string data (5) that he or she wants to edit within this character string data (4).
), as shown in Figure 3, a screen (6) will be created that shows only the data in (5). If you enter data in 1 for up to 100 lines on the screen of (6) and edit 2 is completed, copy only the first part of the screen of (6) to (5), and leave the rest 1) within the screen of i+61. Save to a buffer owned by .

Button, in the above example, when editing is completed for the character string data edited on the created screen (6), it is possible to save the data in the buffer owned by the screen (6) yen. After this, the operator specifies a different range of string data from the string data (4) from the host, creates screen (6), and displays screen (6) from the saved buffer. It is also possible to transfer data.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, this invention is configured to cut out a part of the nine-screen data, copy it to another screen, and edit the data at the copy destination. This has the effect of not having to be conscious of the size of the data being sent.

[Brief explanation of drawings]

Figure 1 is a diagram showing the connection state between the host computer and the terminal device, and Figure 2 is a diagram showing the operator selecting a range from among the character string data sent from the host on the terminal display screen. . FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a state in which an editing screen has been created. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a connection state between a conventional host computer and a terminal device. In the figure, (1) is the host computer, (2) is the terminal device, (3) is the terminal display screen; (4) is the character string data sent from the host; (5) is the range specified by the operator; (6) shows the created editing screen. ) In Figure 2, the same reference numerals indicate the same dimensions or equivalent parts.

Claims (1)

[Claims] When a host computer and a terminal are connected and data is being communicated between them, and character string data from the host is being displayed on the terminal display, the operator can select any character string from the host. When you specify a range, another screen with the size equivalent to the specified range is created, the specified range is copied on that screen in the same format, and you can edit the string on that screen.
It is possible to input up to 100 lines of character strings on the screen and save the input character string data, and when editing is completed, the edited data is copied within the range originally specified by the operator. Data editing method.
