Abstract

PURPOSE:To dispense with description for the processing of a common key at every input by setting the setting parameter of an input item on a screen with a table format. CONSTITUTION:A parameter which sets the content of the input item when screen input is performed i.e., an input flag is used as the input item, or an unuse flag is provided, and the input flag (0) means unuse, (1) means use, and (9) means the fact that no item exists hereafter. Firstly, an item number is attached on an input/output display item based on the screen, and the item numbers (1)-(10) are attached on the items possible to be used in future at that time. Furthermore, each setting parameter is set based on the item number, and a table can be generated. Also, the input flag (1) is set on the input item used actually, and (0) on an output item or the input item possible to be used in future, and (9) on the final item number and the following item number, and as for a digit, a line, a character type, and the number of digits, setting is performed as it is.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of creating a screen input program, and particularly, simplifies the creation of a screen input program in which items to be input are displayed on a display screen and data is input to those fields. The present invention relates to a method for creating a screen input program that makes it easy to add and delete input items.

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional screen input program is shown in FIG.
A program for inputting each item data as shown in will be described.

First, an example of the display screen shown in FIG. 3 will be described. This is a general slip entry screen. The input items include product code, selling price, unit price, quantity, and amount of money. The number of lines to be input on one display screen is two in this example. Enter the product code, selling price, and quantity and display the amount column by calculation. The unit price may be an input item in the future, so keep only the area. It is not used here for input / output. For confirmation, enter "1" in the confirmation column (11) if the input data is correct when the details of the number of lines (two lines) that can be input on one screen are finished, and move to the next input screen. When there is an error in the input data and input correction is required, enter "9" and return to the top of the same input screen.

Based on the example of the display screen shown in FIG. 3, the flow in the case of creating the screen input program by the conventional method will be described with reference to FIG.

Data is input to the item number (1). (Step 11) If the input of the item number (1) is not the data but the end key, the program is ended. (Step 12) In the case of the step key, go to the next input item of step 18 through the circled symbol "B" in FIG. 3 (same below) (step 13) In the case of the back skip key, through "A" Return to the input of item number 11 in step 11 which is the first input item. (Step 14) Return key means that the data in step 11 has been input.

(Step 15) The data input by the return key in step 15 is checked, and if the result is an error, it is input again through “A”. (Step 16) If the result of step 16 is good, screen output, file processing, etc. are performed and the next step is performed. (Step 17) Therefore, the data is input to the item number (2). (Step 18) After entering the data in item number (2), step 1
Input the same operation as 1-17 (4), (6),
The steps (7), (9), and (11) are performed. These steps 11 to 17 are processes for one input item, and this process is regarded as one block. In the conventional method, the number of input items is equal to the number of input items (in the example of FIG. 3, if the input flag is only 1, FIG. 7). You only have to write it in the program. In addition, “A”, “B”, and “C” in FIG.
An input destination (also called a jump destination) through “D” is required.

[0007]

In the above-mentioned conventional screen input program method, an input command is issued for each input item, so that the program description becomes long. In addition, the destination to the next input item must be designated each time using the input data or the key. Furthermore, when adding an input item, the description of the input command and the description of the input destination to the next input item by the subsequent input data or key must be changed. Furthermore, the input data of the input item before and after that or the description of the input destination to the next input item by the key must be changed. Even when an input item is deleted, the input data of the input item before and after it or the description of the input destination to the next input item by the key must be changed.

[0008]

According to the method of creating a screen input program of the present invention, each of a plurality of input items on the display screen is a screen for inputting data to the input item displayed on the display screen. In the method of creating a screen input program for creating an input program, the input item includes a flag indicating whether or not the item is used for data input.

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

FIG. 1 shows a configuration of an embodiment of the present invention, and is a flow chart in the case of creating a screen input program, and FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing input item setting parameters of this embodiment (separate figure A).
3 is an explanatory view showing specific setting parameters of the display screen example of this embodiment (FIG. B), and FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing the display screen example.

An embodiment will now be described with reference to FIGS.

First, the input item setting parameters in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Subdivision A of FIG.
Is a parameter that sets the content of the input item when inputting on the screen. That is, the input flag is a flag indicating whether or not it is used as an input item. The input flag “0” means unused, “1” means used, and “9” means that there is no item thereafter. The digit in the display position column is the digit position where the input item is displayed. The line is the line position where the input item is displayed. The character type indicates the attribute of the input character. "9" represents a numeral, "X" represents a character, and "N" represents a 2-byte character.

Next, how to set the parameters in the case of the screen display example shown in FIG. 3 based on the parameters described in FIG. First, the item number is added to the input / output display item based on the screen. Item number (1) for items that may be used in the future
~ (10) is added. Based on the item number, set each setting parameter and create it as a table. Regarding the input flag, the input item actually used is "1".
"0" for an output item or an input item that may be used in the future, and "9" for an item number next to the last item number.
Set. The digits, lines, character types, and number of digits are set as they are.

With reference to FIG. 1, a flow for creating a program according to this embodiment will be described.

The item number is set to (1). (Step 21) The item numbers are set and read in ascending order until the input flag becomes "1". However, when the input flag becomes "9", the item number is set to the last item. In the example of FIG. 3, if the item number (12) is read next time when the item number (11) is entered, the input flag becomes "9", so the final item number (11) is set at this time. Here, it is assumed that the item number (M) becomes "1". (Step 22) The diagram (B) of FIG. 2 is searched from the item number (M), and the digit, line, input character, type, and input digit number are set, and the item number (M) is input. (Step 23) If the input in step 23 is not data but an end key, the program is ended. (Step 24) If the key is the skip key, go to the next input item (enter "a"). (Step 25) If the key is the back skip key, the process of step 27 for returning to the previous input item is performed. (Step 26) Set and read the item numbers in descending order until the input flag becomes "1" from the current item number (M). However, when the item number is (1), the item number (1) is set. Then return to "b". (Step 27) If the return key is input in step 23, it means that data has been input. (Step 28) Depending on the item number after completion of Step 28, the processing of Steps 30 and 31 is divided for each number. (Step 29) The incoming data is checked by the return key in step 28. If there is an error in the check, enter it again. (Input to "b") (Step 30) If the check result in Step 30 is good, screen output, file processing, etc. are performed and the next input is performed. (Step 31) Items “1” “6” (product code), “2” “7” in FIG.
(Sales price), "4", "9" (quantity), and "11" (confirmation) input processing can be described for the entire operation by simply describing the above-mentioned flow in a program, and correction is easy.

[0016]

As described above, according to the present invention, by setting the setting parameters of the input items (output items and input items that may be used in the future) on the screen in a table format, the input processing can be performed at one place. In spite of the existence, it is possible to automatically set and input the ones whose input flag is "1". Further, since the input process is performed at one place, the subsequent common key process need not be described each time the input process is performed, and the input destination can be fixed at one place. Therefore, when adding / deleting an input item, it is only necessary to change the input flag without increasing or decreasing the description of the input process or changing the input destination of the common key of the input items before and after it. Further, since the processing after the completion of input can be described under the input processing, there is an effect that the program is easy to see.
