Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Configuration of the Invention (Industrial Application Field) This invention relates to a display control method, and particularly relates to a display control method in a computer system in which input/output control information and screen fixed data information are simultaneously displayed on the screen. .

(Prior Art) Generally, in computer systems, form-type screens are often used to manage various data. Input/output control information and screen fixed data are displayed simultaneously on such a form screen. Here, the input/output control information means all information related to input/output indicating data input to an input/output area, that is, a field, the size of the field, attributes, etc. Furthermore, screen fixed data includes data such as screen headings, field headings, backgrounds, figures, images, etc., and means all fixed data other than input/output data.

Conventionally, a system for simultaneously displaying input/output control information and screen fixed data on a screen has been configured as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the conventional system includes a data processing device 11 that processes and processes data to be displayed on the screen, a screen information control section 2 that controls display operations, input/output control information, and screen fixed data. It is equipped with a screen information storage section 3 in which information is stored, a display device, a keyboard, etc., and a terminal device 4 used as a man-machine interface.

In this way, conventionally, input/output control information and screen fixed data are managed together, and even if only one of the data is changed, it is always possible to change both input/output control information and screen fixed data. It was necessary. FIG. 5 conceptually shows the screen display state when only the screen fixed data is changed for each screen and the input/output control information is the same and remains unchanged.

In FIG. 5, 101 to 103 indicate the first to third screens, and here fixed data A displayed on the first screen IJIIJ is changed to fixed data B on the second screen 102.
, and is further changed to fixed data C on the third screen 103, whereas the case where the input/output control information is common on the first to third screens 101 to 103 is shown.

Even when changing only the screen fixed data as in 2, conventionally, input/output control information and screen fixed data are managed together, so both input/output control information and screen fixed data must be changed. There was a drawback that it was necessary to recreate the screen display information.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) Conventionally, input/output control information and screen fixed data are managed together, and even if only one of the input/output control information and screen fixed data is changed, the input/output control information and screen fixed data are always managed. There was a drawback that both the output control information and the screen fixed data had to be changed.

This invention was made in view of the above points, and it is an object of the present invention to enable input/output control information and screen fixed data to be managed separately, and to change only necessary data without affecting the overall data processing. The purpose is to provide a display control method that allows

[Structure of the Invention] (Means and Effects for Solving the Problems) The display control method according to the present invention includes first and second data in which human output control information and screen fixed data information to be displayed on the screen are respectively stored. A storage means stores connection information for connecting the input/output control information stored in the first storage means and the screen fixed data information stored in the second storage means at a rate of one screen. It comprises a connection information storage means, and a display control means for displaying the human output control information and screen fixing data information on a screen based on the connection information stored in the connection information storage means, It is characterized by managing data information separately.

In this display control method, input/output control information and screen fixed data information are stored separately, and linkage information for linking the input/output control information and screen fixed data information is stored at a rate of one screen. Therefore, by using the connection information, input/output control information and screen fixed data information can be managed separately and displayed on the screen simultaneously. Therefore, only necessary data can be changed without affecting the overall data processing.

(Example) Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the configuration of a computer system for realizing a display control method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

This computer system includes a data processing device 11, human output control information 12, input/output control information storage section 13, screen fixed data storage section 14, screen fixed data control device 15, screen connection information storage section 16, and terminal device 17. We are prepared.

The data processing device 11 processes various types of data handled by this system, and processes and processes data entered manually by the user via the terminal device 17. The input/output control device 12 cooperates with the data processing device 11 to control the input/output control information storage section 13 and the screen connection information storage section 16, and also controls the input/output control information displayed on the screen of the terminal device 17. to manage.

Among the information displayed on the screen, the input/output control information storage section 13 stores field input/output data and input/output control information regarding input/output such as the field size and attributes. In the screen fixed data storage section 14,
Of the information displayed on the screen, all screen fixed data other than input/output control information is stored.

The screen fixed data control device 15 controls the screen fixed data storage section 14 and the screen connection information storage section 16, and also manages the screen fixed data displayed on the screen of the terminal device 17. The screen connection information storage unit 16 stores connection information for each screen that indicates the relationship between input/output control information and screen fixed data at the time of screen creation. The terminal device 17 is used as a man-machine interface, and includes a display, a keyboard, etc. operated by the user.

FIG. 2 shows the state of the screen displayed on the display of the terminal device 17. In FIG. 2, 201 is a display screen, Di, D2. D3 is fixed data, and Di' and D2' are input/output data. Fixed data DI is heading data on the screen, and here, as an example, "registration" is shown. Fixed data D2. D3 is field heading data, and here examples include ``book title'' and ``employee number.'' The input/output data Di' and D2' are data within the field, and the input/output data substitute D1' displays information corresponding to the heading data "employee", and the input/output data D2' displays the heading data "employee". The information corresponding to "No." is displayed.

In this display screen 201, fixed data DI is displayed.

D2 and D3 are stored in the screen fixed data storage section 13, and input/output data Di' and D2' are stored in the input/output control information storage section 13.

Next, the display control operation of the system shown in FIG. 1 will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, the operation when creating a screen will be explained with reference to FIG. 3(A). When creating a screen, common "screen name" information is given to the input/output control information and screen fixed data to be displayed on the same screen, and the input/output control information is stored in the input/output control information storage section 13, and the screen fixed data is stored in the screen fixed data storage section 14 (step Al).

Next, connection information indicating the relationship between input/output control information and screen fixed data on a screen-by-screen basis is stored in the screen connection information storage unit 16 using the above-mentioned "screen name" information as an identifier (
Step A2).

Next, the screen content changing process will be explained with reference to FIG. 3(B).

When data processing is actually executed, a screen with a predetermined "screen name" is displayed as necessary, and data input and data update processing are executed on the displayed screen. Therefore, first, it is determined whether the processing for one screen has been completed (step B1), and if it has not been completed,
In order to display the necessary screen, the screen connection information storage section 16 is searched based on the "screen name" information. Then, human output control information and screen fixed data corresponding to the above-mentioned "screen name" information are retrieved from the input/output control information storage section 13 and screen fixed data storage section 14, respectively, and are displayed on the display of the terminal device 17. (Step B2).

Next, a key input from the user is accepted (step B3), thereby inputting predetermined input/output data to be registered in the input/output control information field. This input data is subjected to predetermined processing and processing in the data processing device 11 (step B4), and then stored in the input/output control information storage section 13 via the input/output control device 12 (step B5). .

In this way, when the processing for one screen is completed, it is determined whether or not to change the original screen to a new screen corresponding to the data input in step B3 (step B6), and if no change is made, it is left as is. The process will be terminated. On the other hand, if the screen is to be changed, the screen is changed (Step B7), and then the corresponding screen connection information is newly stored in the screen connection information storage section 16 (Step B8).

As described above, in the display control method of this embodiment,
Since input/output control information and screen fixed data are managed separately, it is possible to easily replace headings, etc. of input/output fields. Therefore, by replacing the headings from Japanese with other foreign languages, multilingual software can be easily realized. Furthermore, the display control method of this embodiment is not limited to the form of a form screen as shown in FIG. is also suitable.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, input/output data and screen fixed data can be managed separately, and only necessary data can be easily managed without affecting the overall data processing. Can be changed.
