The operation of FIG. 1 will be described below with reference to FIGS. 2, 3 and 4.

In order to complete a program by editing a basic pattern prepared in advance to generate a skeleton 5 of the desired program and adding necessary processing thereto, the skeleton of the desired program is obtained from the basic pattern 1. The pattern editing unit 3 inputs the editing information 2 for the above to generate the skeleton 5 of the program as the editing result. An example of this case will be described with reference to FIG.

The basic pattern shown in FIG. 2 shows modularized processing, information indicating whether each processing is indispensable or not necessary for constructing a program, and whether the processing requires additional coding or not. It has information to show. The edit information given for editing is an instruction to select the collation process 2 and the print process, which are arbitrary and arbitrary modules, and as a result, an essential module,
A skeleton of the program composed of the selected arbitrary modules is generated. The modules that form the framework of the generated program also carry the information as to whether or not the modules require additional coding.

Next, when the processing of the pattern editing unit 3 is completed, the control is passed to the information registration unit 4, and which pattern is the information collected during the pattern editing process is used to generate the program. Information such as what modules require additional coding in the generated program is registered in the related information database as the pattern / program related information 6 and the program / additional part related information 7. An example of each related information at this time will be described with reference to FIG.

In the example of the related information database shown in FIG. 3, the pattern name used is PAT01 and the generated program name is PRG-01. Then, the two pieces of related information, that is, the pattern / program related information and the program / additional part related information are additionally registered to the existing information.

Next, when the registration of the related information database is completed, a list of existing programs generated by the existing program selecting section 9 using the same pattern based on the pattern / program related information 6 in the related information database is displayed. The existing program list information 10 is created. The additional coding extraction unit 11 extracts the content of the additional coding from the existing program group based on the existing program list information 10 and the program / additional location related information 7 in the relevant information database, and adds the additional location for each program and the content of the additional coding. The extracted additional coding content 12 including the above is created.

When the necessary information can be collected, the control is performed by the display unit 13.
The extracted additional coding content 12 is input, and the additional coding list / content display screen 14 for each additional location is displayed. The displayed contents are a list of additional codings and their contents.

Next, the selection unit 16 repeats the selection instruction 15 which is an instruction for obtaining the additional coding most similar to the target program, and the user confirms the content to determine the final additional coding, and the selection addition Create the coding content 17.

The selected additional coding is incorporated in the skeleton 5 of the program which has already been generated.
Is added to an appropriate additional location to create the added program 19. This added program 19 can further complete a final target program by a general editing process 20. FIG. 4 illustrates an example from selection of additional coding to incorporation and completion of the target program.

In the list display shown in FIG. 4, the program PR
A program having an initial process which is a process requiring additional coding in G-01 and a process similar to this is displayed. Here, when the program name PRG-B is selected, it is possible to confirm whether the contents of the initial processing, which is an additional module of the program PRG-B, are displayed in the content display format and can be used. Once additional coding that can be diverted is determined, it will be incorporated in the appropriate position in the program framework. The user further corrects the contents to suit the target program and completes the target program.

In this example, the product master file, which is the file name, is modified into a product inventory file.
