The customization information is managed for each execution program name, and one execution format program can have a plurality of files. The customization information file 16 is for each user,
It is defined for each executable program, and is managed by the customization information file name for each executable program name.

FIG. 4 is a flow chart of the operation of the embodiment shown in FIG.
The operation of the embodiment will be described below with reference to FIG. First, the screen input / output unit 9 receives an operation instruction from the user (step 101), and determines whether the operation instruction is operation start, operation completion, or business operation (step 102). If the operation is started, the operation start information is transmitted to the execution program management unit 3 by normal data transmission (not shown), and the execution program management unit 3 reads the program execution control file 1 by the user ID and executes the executable execution. The format program is extracted and the execution format program file is read from the master program storage unit 2 (step 103). On the other hand, the customization information management unit 18 reads the customization information management file 17 with the user ID and determines whether the customization information is registered (step 104),
If it is already registered, the customization information is extracted from the customization information file 16 (step 105), and the program file transmitting unit 4 reads the executable program file read in step 103 and the customization information extracted in step 105 as the line type. It is edited into a suitable transmission format (step 106). When the customization information is not registered in step 104, only the executable program file is edited. Next, the program file transmitting unit 4 transmits the edited executable program file and the customization information to the line 20 (step 107). The program file receiving unit 5 receives the transmitted execution format program and customization information, and edits each into a file format (step 108).
Therefore, the program temporary registration unit 6 registers the execution format program file in the program temporary registration file 7 (step 109), and the customization information temporary registration unit 19 stores the customization information temporarily for each execution format program when the customization information exists. It is registered in the registration file 11 (steps 110 and 111).

Thereafter, the same processing as when the operation instruction is determined to be a business operation is entered in step 102. That is, the program execution control unit 8 executes the program by the program temporary registration file 7 and the customization information temporary registration file 11 under the instruction of the user via the screen input / output unit 9 (step 112). Next, the customization information analysis unit 10 determines whether the information input from the screen input / output unit 9 is customization information. If there is customization information, the customization information analysis unit 10 edits this information into a file format and the customization information temporary registration file 11 (Steps 113 and 114), and returns to Step 101. If there is no customization information, the process immediately returns to step 101.

On the other hand, when the operation instruction is the operation completion in step 102, the customization information transmission unit 12 refers to the customization information temporary registration file 11 to check whether the customization information is registered (step 11
5) If registered, edit the registered customization information into a transmission format suitable for the type of line (step 116), and connect it to the line 21 to transmit the customization information to the managing computer. It is transmitted (step 117). The customization information receiving unit 14 receives this customization information (step 118), edits it for each execution program, and updates the customization information file 16 and the customization information management file 17 with the user ID (step 119). Thereafter, the program temporary registration unit 6 deletes the temporarily registered executable program from the program temporary registration file 7, and the customization information temporary registration unit 19 refers to the customization information temporary registration file 11 to perform temporary registration. If the file exists, the file is deleted (step 120) and the series of operations ends.
