JPH0512067A - Error message display device - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the operation efficiency of a program by enabling the quick processing for an error. CONSTITUTION:When an error occurs while executing the program, an error message is outputted by an error message output part 3 and a window 15 of a button 16 is opened by an explanation request part 5 to receive the request for detailed explanation. When the button is pushed by an input means 2, an explanation display part 6 reads data from an explanation data storage part 7 and displays the detailed explanation of the error on the display means 4.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for displaying an error message generated when a program is executed.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a conventional error message display device. In the figure, 1 is a program execution section for executing a program, 2 is input means for inputting a program execution command, 3 is an error message output section for outputting a simple error message to the display means 4 when an error occurs during program execution. Is. FIG. 6 is a screen when a simple error message is output to the display means 4. In the figure, 10 is a screen on the display means 4, 11 is a command input window, 12 is a prompt, 13 is a program execution command, and 14 is a simple error message.

Next, the operation will be described. Following the prompt 12 displayed in the command input window 11 opened on the display means 4, the program execution command 13
When is input from the input unit 2, the program execution unit 1 executes the program. When an error occurs during program execution, the error message output unit 3 outputs a simple error message 14 to the display means 4.

[0004]

Since the conventional error message display device is constructed as described above, when an error occurs during program execution, only a simple error message is displayed. Therefore, the executor of the program does not know the detailed contents of the error and needs to obtain an explanation from a document or an expert other than the display means, which hinders the improvement of work efficiency by the program.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to obtain an error message display device capable of efficiently performing work by a program.

[0006]

The error message display device according to the present invention outputs a simple error message to the display means when an error occurs during program execution, and stores a detailed description of the error. There is an input from the data storage section, an explanation request section for displaying an inquiry as to whether or not to request a detailed explanation of an error that has occurred, input means for inputting a request to this explanation request section, and input from this input means. In this case, an explanation display unit for reading the detailed explanation data for the error from the explanation data storage unit and displaying it on the display means is provided so that the detailed explanation of the error can be displayed if requested.

[0007]

When an error occurs during execution of a program on the error message display device according to the present invention, a detailed explanation of the error is immediately displayed, so that quick processing for the error is possible and the work efficiency of the program is improved. Can be planned.

【Example】

Example 1. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 to 4 are exactly the same as the above-mentioned conventional device. Reference numeral 5 is an explanation requesting section for outputting an inquiry display on the display means 4 as to whether or not to request the display of detailed explanation when a simple error message is outputted by the error message output section 3, and 6 is more detailed than the input means 2. When a request for explanation is input, an explanation display section for displaying a detailed explanation for the error on the display means 4, and an explanation data storage section 7 for storing detailed explanation data for each error. Further, FIG. 2 is a screen for inquiring whether or not to display the detailed description. In the figure, 10 to 14 are exactly the same as those of the display screen shown in FIG. Reference numeral 15 is a window opened to inquire whether to request the display of the detailed description, and 16 is a button for requesting the display of the detailed description. Also, FIG.
Is a detailed explanation display screen when a detailed explanation is requested to be displayed. In the figure, 17 is a detailed explanation display window displaying a detailed explanation.

Next, the operation will be described. When the program execution command 13 is input from the input unit 2 following the prompt 12 displayed in the command input window 11 opened on the display unit 4, the program execution unit 1 executes the program. When an error occurs during program execution, the error message output unit 3 outputs a simple error message 14 to the screen on the display means 4. At the same time, the explanation requesting section 5 opens the window 15 of the button 16 on the screen. This is shown in FIG. At this time, if it is unnecessary to display the detailed explanation, the program executor may take the error as it is and then re-execute the program. At that time, the detailed explanation of the error is not displayed on the screen. When the program executor needs to display the detailed explanation, the mouse is used as the input means 2 and the button 16 is pressed by the mouse. Read the data and display it on the screen. This is shown in FIG. As mentioned above,
Since the detailed explanation of the error is displayed only when necessary, there is no unnecessary display and the work is not complicated. Also, a detailed explanation of the error can be obtained by simply pressing the button with the mouse.

Embodiment 2. In the above-described embodiment, the necessity of displaying the detailed explanation and the inquiry as the window of the button are shown, and the display of the detailed explanation is requested by pressing the button with the mouse. As shown in FIG. 3, it is assumed that the command input window 11 needs to display a detailed explanation with characters, and Yes / No is used as the input means 2 by using a keyboard, and the keyboard is used for inputting. In this case, you can get a detailed explanation by simply typing Yes and you do not need a mouse.

[0011]

As described above, according to the present invention, when an error occurs during the execution of a program, a detailed explanation for the error is displayed on the display means only when necessary, so that the error can be promptly dealt with. Processing becomes possible,
It is hoped that the program will improve work efficiency.
