Abstract

PURPOSE:To operate the correction of a message without affecting a related program, and to obtain a means valid to the standardization of the program by managing the message en bloc by an outside medium. CONSTITUTION:This system is equipped with a message master file 1 which stores an alphanumeric KANA (Japanese syllabary) message and a Japanese message corresponding to each message code constituted of both the classification of the message and a message number, and updates the content from a message updating terminal 3, and a message managing means 2 which reads at least one of the alphanumeric KANA message and the Japanese message from the message master file 1 by using the message code as a key, and displays the message at a message display terminal 4.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a system for collectively managing messages, and more particularly to a system for collectively managing application messages.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, messages output from applications have been defined within each program, and therefore, when changing a message, the related program must be modified.

0003

The above-mentioned conventional applications have a drawback in that messages are defined within programs, and therefore, when messages are added or changed, the related programs must be modified. Also,
Since each program defines its own messages, it has the disadvantage that it is not suitable for standardization.

0004

[Means for Solving the Problems] The message batch management system of the present invention stores alphanumeric kana messages and Japanese messages corresponding to each message code consisting of a message type and a message number. A message master file whose contents are updated from a terminal, and message management which reads at least one of the alphanumeric kana message and the Japanese message from the message master file using the message code as a key and displays it on the second terminal. and means.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram showing the configuration of a message collective management system according to the present invention. The message master file 1 is composed of an external medium (here, an indexed file on a magnetic disk), and stores alphanumeric, kana, and Japanese messages using a message code consisting of a message type and a message number as an index. When displaying a message from the message management means 2, the message is read from the message master file 1 using the message code (message type a and message number b) as a key (step 21). Use language messages. Then, for example, it is displayed on the message display terminal 4, which is the second terminal (
Step 22).

[0007] Also, to change, add, or delete messages,
Modify message files directly. In other words, the message type/
Update the message master file by inputting a key consisting of a message number and alphanumeric kana and Japanese messages as necessary. Note that the message type represents the type of message and is divided into groups according to purpose, such as common, error, form, and screen messages. The message number is a message number within each message type. Further, the message update terminal 3 and message display terminal 4, which are the first terminal and the second terminal, may use one terminal in a time-sharing manner or may use other signal sources.

[0008]

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the present invention allows messages to be modified without affecting related programs by collectively managing messages on an external medium, and is an effective means for standardizing programs. There is an effect.
