Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an erroneous order processing preventing method, and in particular, it uses a program predetermined by an information processing device and inputs data in a predetermined order from a plurality of update programs. The present invention relates to a method of preventing an incorrect order process applied when an update program is selected and data is updated.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Information for selecting and activating the above-mentioned processing programs in a time-sequentially correct order from a plurality of predetermined processing programs, and performing predetermined update processing on input data. Processing device, for example,
There is a daily update processing program that captures sales items for goods, the number of items, and sales amount as data on a daily basis.

[0003] The date and time update processing is a prescribed periodic update processing (update processing for counting specific data items of date and time update data up to that time when a predetermined date and time is reached for date and time update data up to that point) ) There is a periodic update program that does the middle of one calendar month.

A monthly update program for updating the data by monthly update based on the data created by the date and time update program and the data created by the daily update program up to the last day of each calendar month. Based on the data updated by each update program described above, for example, if there is a data processing program for end-of-term update that updates data in units of 6 months, the date specified in the periodic update program It is necessary to update the data using the daily update program up to the date before processing with the daily update program. When using the monthly update program, the monthly update program updates the data. It is necessary to update the data by the daily update program up to the deadline and the daily update program. When the updating of data by the ram, daily updated, it is necessary to update processing of data by tightening following updates and monthly updates.

FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing a conventional data updating method for each of the above-mentioned updating processes.

Conventionally, when such processing is performed, the operator starts an information processing apparatus for performing the following processing, and, for example, as shown in FIG. Step up the menu display program that displays the update program related to the update processing at the next, the next month, the month, and the end of the year by associating it with the corresponding item number, select and input the item number, and start the program corresponding to the item number (below. 1), the operator determines which one of the displayed programs should be selected, and the operator selects an appropriate program based on the determination (S2) and activates the desired program. Run the update program (S
3) Then, the necessary data was updated.

[0007]

In the above-described conventional data processing method, when a plurality of processing programs are selected from the menu displayed, the operator makes an incorrect decision and updates daily until the prescribed date. If the periodic update program is executed before updating using the program and the periodic update is performed, abnormal data will be created as update data due to such update processing. If the data is updated by using the monthly and year-end update programs based on the data updated by the processing, abnormal data will be generated by the monthly and year-end update programs.

As described above, in the conventional data update method, even if the operator mistakenly selects and executes an update program that is out of order in time series, there is no display indicating that the update program is incorrect. Therefore, there is a drawback in that the erroneously created data is output as it is without noticing such an erroneous operation.

Further, even if such an error is noticed at a later date,
It has the drawback of requiring a great deal of time to correct it.

An object of the present invention is to provide such a state when the operator selects an update program as described above, and when the update process by another update program, which is a prerequisite for the process by the update program, is not being performed. That the update processing by the other update program that is a prerequisite of this selected update program has not been executed without executing the selected update program by detecting It is to provide a method of preventing misordering processing that can prevent the above.

[0011]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing an embodiment of the incorrect order processing prevention method of the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows an example of a processing apparatus to which the incorrect order processing prevention method of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 is applied. 3 is a block diagram, FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing the contents of the update information storage unit shown in FIG. 2, and FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing the contents of the deadline table storage unit shown in FIG. is there.

The processing apparatus shown in FIG. 2 has an input / output unit 1 connected to the output side of the caution display information output unit 9 and the menu display unit 2, and an update order check unit 3 connected to the menu display unit 2 and activated. A date update unit 4 connected to the update order check unit 3, an update order storage unit 5 connected to the update order check unit 3 and the date update unit 4, and a deadline table storage connected to the date update unit 4. Section 6, update program execution means 7 activated by the update order check means 3, update program storage section 8 connected to the update program execution means 7 and output by the input / output section 1 activated by the update order check means 3. It is composed of a caution display information output means 9 connected to the side.

It is assumed that the update program storage section 8 stores the same daily update program, daily update program, monthly update program and end-of-year update program as already described with reference to FIG.

Further, in the update information storage unit 5, for all of the update programs, the program name indicating the above-mentioned update program name as shown in FIG. 3, and the update date when the program with this program name was updated, The scheduled update date to be updated next and the preceding program name that indicates the name of the updated program that needs to be executed prior to this program are stored in a predetermined format in association with each other. ..

In other words, if the daily update program is stored in the program name area, the daily update is stored, and there is no update program to be processed prior to this program.
The area for the name of the preceding program required is left blank. If the updated date of this daily update program is March 31, 1991, it is stored as 91, 03, 31 in the update date area. If the next scheduled update date is April 1, 1991, then 91.0
4, 01 is stored in the area of the scheduled update date.

The term-end update program whose program name is the term-end update stores the term-end update in the area of the program name, and the corresponding preceding program required is monthly processing.
Monthly processing is stored in the area of the preceding program name required. If the updated date is March 31, 1991,
91, 03, 31 are stored in the update date area.

Further, in the deadline table storage unit 6 shown in FIG. 2, as shown in FIG. 4, for all the above-mentioned update programs, a program name indicating the update program name and a program name indicating the update program name are stored. The scheduled update date of the update program to be updated is stored in advance in association with the program name in the order of time of execution.

For example, the program name whose program name is the daily update program is stored as the daily update program, and the scheduled update dates of this daily update program are 199 in the order of time.
If March 31, 1st is 91,03,31, and the next scheduled update date is April 1, 1991, then 91,03,31
Sequentially stored as 04, 01. Such a scheduled update date is stored as a deadline table up to a predetermined date for each update program.

When the execution order is output from the update order check means 3, the update program execution means 7 reads out the selected update program from the update program storage section and executes this update program.

When receiving the information output command from the update order check means 3, the caution display information output means 9 outputs the pre-stored caution display information to the input / output unit 1.

The operation of the misordering prevention method according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG.

A predetermined command is input from the input / output unit 1 to activate the menu display means 2 to display the update program (S10). A desired update processing program is selected by the input / output unit 1 (S11), and the update date is input (S12).

When the menu display means 2 receives these selections and inputs the update date, it activates the update order check means 3, and the update order check means 3 causes the update information storage section 5 to operate.
The information stored in association with the program name of the selected update program among the information stored therein is extracted (S13), and the update date input from the input / output unit 1 and the update information storage unit are extracted. The scheduled update date extracted from 5 is compared (S14), and if they match each other, it is further checked whether or not there is a preceding program required (S15).

If the preceding program required does not exist, the update order check means 3 outputs an execution command to the update program execution means 7 to activate it and read the selected program from the update program storage section 8 to execute it. S1
6) When the execution is completed, the update order check means 3 activates the date update means 4 and corresponds to the update program executed by the date update means 4 referring to the closing date table in the closing date table storage unit 6. The next scheduled update date is read out and written in the area of the scheduled update date associated with the corresponding program in the update information storage unit 5 (S17). Next, the date updating means 4 performs a process of updating the contents of the update date corresponding to the corresponding update program in the update information storage unit 5 by rewriting it to the update date input by the input / output unit 1 (S18). ..

In S14, when the update date input from the input / output unit 1 and the scheduled update date extracted from the update information storage unit 5 do not match, the update order check means 3 causes the caution display information output means 9 to operate. Start up (S2
1) Output the caution display information to the input / output unit 1 (S2
2) Select the processing program by displaying the menu (S1
Return the process to 1).

In step S15 described above, when there is a preceding program required, the update order check means 3
Refers to the update information storage unit 5 and extracts the update date associated with the program name equal to the preceding program name required (S19).

The extracted update date is compared with the update date already input from the input / output unit 1 (S20). If they match each other, the process proceeds to S16 described above, and these two do not match. If S is
The process is moved to 21.

As is apparent from the above description, even if the update program to be processed later is mistakenly selected in chronological order without performing the update processing to be performed in advance, the caution display is input / output. Only the data is output to the section 1, and the update program is not executed.

[0031]

As described above, in the incorrect order process prevention method of the present invention, when the update program is selected and the update date is input, the update order check means 3 causes the update information storage unit 5 to store the update information. When the update date that is input by judging whether or not the selected update program can be executed is different from the scheduled update date by referring to the contents, and when the process by the preceding program requiring execution is not executed, the selected update program Since the execution of the update program is prevented, the operator can be prevented from executing the update program in the wrong order. Therefore, there is an effect that it is possible to prevent the wasteful time for correcting the error by executing the update program in the wrong order.
