JPH0553783A - System for generating common original plate of code table for program and code table for user - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate a contradiction between a code table for a program and the code table for a user so as to improve productivity in order to encode data in system development by generating the common original plate of the code table which is mechanically changeable to the both code tables for the program and for the user. CONSTITUTION:After a code specifications are decided (101), the original plan of the common original plate is generated based on it (102). The element in terms of the least common multiple element of the code table for the user and the code table for the program is incorporated in the plan. When an input is completed, work for recognizing whether an input error exists or not is execute (103) and the error is corrected (106) when it is found out. The dedicated conversion program is generated (105) for converting the generated common original plate of the code table into the code table for the user and the code table for the program which are formats finally needed. When the code specifications has to be changed, the common original plate is corrected.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a common original generation method of a program code table and a user code when coding a user program and creating a code table for the user in the development of an electronic computer system. It is a thing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a method at the time of development for coding data to be processed on an electronic computer system,
(1) Determine the optimum code system and create a draft of the code table. (2) Use the screen editor to enter the code table required when coding a program based on the draft. (3) After inputting, a person checks whether or not there is an error in the program code table, and if an error is found, correct it. (4) To make the code conversion table available to multiple programs, register it as a copy source text and use it for program development.
(5) Create a formal version of the code table for reference by the computer system user based on the draft. This official version is usually printed by a printing company or printed using a Japanese word processor.
(6) Typographical error in the official version of the completed user code table,
If any mistakes are found, correct them by hand to check if there are any mistakes due to input mistakes. It was such content.

A flow chart of FIG. 3 shows a general work flow from the code specification determination by the conventional method to the completion of the program code table and the user code table. And
In each of steps 201 to 209, a predetermined process is executed.

[0004]

In the conventional method as described above, since the program code table and the user code table are created in separate steps, there is a possibility that an error may be mixed in each step. However, there is a problem that a large number of man-hours are required to remove this. In addition, when the code itself is changed, there is a possibility that one of them may be left uncorrected.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A common original generation method of a program code table and a user code table of the present invention is mechanically converted into both a code table used in a program and a code table for a user. It is provided with a creating means for creating a common original version of the possible code table.

[0006]

In the present invention, the common original version of the code table that can be mechanically converted into both the program code table and the user code table is created.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a flow chart for explaining an embodiment of a method for creating a common original of a program code table and a user code table according to the present invention. From the code specification determination to the program code table and the user code. It shows the flow of work until the table is completed. Steps 101 to 1
At 06, a predetermined process is executed. Further, it is provided with a creating means for creating a common original version of the code table that can be mechanically converted into both the code table used in the program and the code table for the user.

FIG. 2 is an explanatory view conceptually showing the layout of the records constituting the common original plate of the program code table and the user code table used in the explanation of FIG. In addition,
The names such as the usage code and the usage code are adopted for the sake of convenience, and may not be exactly as they are, and the order of the items does not have to be this order.

In FIG. 2, 1 is a usage code that is used for convenience, and 2 is a usage code that is used for convenience.
3 shows the contents. The usage code 1 is a record that is not used (comment) in both the program code table and the user code table, is a record that is used only in the program code table, and is also used in the user code table. These are records that are used only, and are records that are used in both the program code table and the user code table, and these are usage codes that are codes for identification.

Next, the operation of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 will be described with reference to FIG. First, after the code specifications are determined (step 101), a common original draft is created based on the code specifications (step 102). It contains the least common multiple elements of the user code table and program code table. Here, as an example, code the type of bank deposit,
It is assumed that the code table for obtaining the Japanese name of the deposit is created by this. Items required in both the code table for programs and the code table for users are "Title",
There are "number of elements", "code number", "deposit Japanese name", etc. The important thing here is to unify common items,
Care should be taken to avoid duplication. And the item that is required only in the user code table is "creation date",
"Latest revision date", "Revision", "Person in charge", etc. are available, and selection is made as necessary. Items required only in the program code table are the item name, attribute, number of digits of "code number", item name, attribute, number of digits of "deposit Japanese name", and the like. Regarding these representation methods, consider the grammar of the language used to write the program and make it into the optimum form. For example, if a program is written using the COBL language, the item name of "code number" is YoKiNCD, the attribute is 9, and the number of digits is 2.

As the next work, the work of registering the original draft of this common original in one file that can be processed by a computer is performed. This work uses a simple file operation language generally used on a personal computer or creates a dedicated input program. The format of the registration record at this time is shown in FIG. This record has one of the following characteristics: common use for the user code table and program code table, used only for the user code table, and used only for the program code table, which were categorized when the draft of the common original version was created. That is, a "use code" that is a code for identifying that Furthermore, when it is necessary to subdivide a record having each usage code, a "use code" is added and used to identify this.

Next, when the input is completed, a confirmation work is performed to see if there is an input error (step 103).
If an error is found, correct it (step 10).
6). As long as the correction is made here, no contradiction occurs due to forgetting one of the corrections.

In order to convert the common original plate of the code table thus created into the user required code table and the program code table, which are finally required formats, a dedicated conversion program is created (step 106). .. The user code table can be printed by converting it to a form in which the printing function of the file operation simple language can be used, or by a dedicated program in its own format. The code table for the program is designed so that it can be converted into a form that matches the grammar of the language used to write the program.

When the code specifications are changed, the common original is corrected and the subsequent processing is executed again. In this case, since the work other than the correction input and the confirmation work is performed by the machine, the labor of the worker is reduced, and there is a possibility that a contradiction may occur between the user code table and the program code table due to forgetting to fix one of them. There is no.

[0015]

As described above, according to the present invention, the common original plate of the code table that can be mechanically changed is created in both the program code table and the user code table. It is only necessary to perform the error confirmation work on the common original version, which has the effect of halving the manual confirmation work. Also, if there is a change in the code, either the program code table or the user code table will be used. There is the advantage that no contradiction occurs due to forgetting to fix one of the
The items common to both the code table for programs and the code table for users need only be entered once, which has the effect of reducing the time and effort required for inputting, and it is remarkable that system quality can be improved and development man-hours can be reduced. Exert an effect.
