Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention creates a data table used for an application program having a tableware configuration that copes with changes in the system configuration by changing system constants stored in the data table. Regarding the data table creation method.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in an application program or the like having a system constant whose value changes in accordance with the scale and status of the system, all system constants are registered in a data table in advance and applied. The system constant of the data table is changed according to the above, and the application program is constructed to operate based on the system constant set in the data table.

[0003] For example, in the case of an application program or the like in which a system constant is set according to each system and applied to a plurality of systems because the scale of the system is different for each delivery destination, the delivery is generally performed. Design information is documented to check the specifications of the application program with the previous one, so refer to the document and analyze this to find the constant data to be set as a system constant, and then convert the constant data into a data table. After setting and implementing all system constants to create a data table, coding is done to make an application program. And
Create a data table in the same way for each system,
We are creating application programs for each system.

For example, as shown in FIG. 7, table data is created based on the design information A described on the paper P, which includes the transmission speed, the transmission method, the number of digital input points, the number of analog input points, and the presence or absence of options. I shall. At this time, the data table is composed of the table 1 and the table 2, and the table 1 is 8 as shown in FIG.
The bit pattern is made up of bits, and the transmission rate data is from the 0th bit to the 3rd bit.
0, 4800, 2400, 1200, 4th bit is no transmission method, 5th bit is transmission method BSC contention, 6th bit is option, 7th bit is no option. Table 2 is shown in FIG.
As shown in (b), it is formed of two bytes, one of which stores digital input points and the other of which stores analog input points.

Since the transmission rate is 9600 bps in the design information A, this is set in correspondence with the bit pattern of Table 1. Table 1 is 0-3
Since the bit is transmission rate data and the 0th bit is defined as the transmission rate 9600, the 0th bit is set to "1" and the 1st to 3rd bits are set to "0".
Next, since the transmission method has BSC contention in the design information A, this is made to correspond to the bit pattern of Table 1, and "1" is set in the fifth bit and "0" is set in the fourth bit. Further, since there is an option in the design information A, "1" is set in the 6th bit of table 1 corresponding to the option, and "0" is set in the 7th bit without the option.

Since the number of digital input points is 100 and the number of analog input points is 80, "100" is set in the first byte of Table 2 and "80" is set in the second byte. As a result, a data table of the system having the design information A is created.

[0007]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional data table creating method, the constant data set by the operator to the system constant is obtained based on the design information such as the document, and this constant data is converted into the data table format. Since it is designed to correspond to, when setting in the data table, the setting position,
There is an unsolved problem that a setting format such as a setting value is wrong, or a method of obtaining constant data from design information differs depending on the operator, and the setting value varies depending on the operator.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned unsolved problems of the prior art, and provides a data table creating method capable of easily and surely setting constant data in design information in a data table. The purpose is to do.

[0009]

In order to achieve the above object, the data table creating method according to the present invention copes with a change in system configuration by changing a system constant stored in the data table. In a data table creating method for creating the data table used for an application program having a tableware configuration, system constant information according to a system configuration to be applied in advance is stored in a system constant information storage unit, and the system constant information and Corresponding to this, a correspondence table showing a correspondence relationship with the setting data to be set in the data table is provided, and the setting data is obtained by referring to the correspondence table by the setting means based on the system constant information. It is characterized by setting it in the data table .

[0010]

For example, in a data table creating method for creating a data table used for an application program having a tableware structure, which copes with a change in the system structure by changing a system constant stored in the data table, System constant information corresponding to the system configuration to be applied in advance is stored in the system constant information storage means, and a correspondence table showing a correspondence relationship between the system constant information and the setting data set in the data table corresponding thereto is provided. Keep it. Then, setting data is obtained by the setting means based on the system constant information and the correspondence table, and this is set in the data table, so that the data table can be easily and surely created.

[0011]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, a data table is created based on the design information file F created by a word processor or the like. FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of a computer system to which a data table creating method according to the present invention is applied. For example, a central processing unit 1, a memory 2, an interface unit 3, a CRT 4, a keyboard 5, a floppy disk 6,
7 and 8, the central processing unit 1 and the memory 2 are
The CRT 4, the keyboard 5, and the floppy disks 6, 7, 8 are directly connected to each other and are connected to the central processing unit 1 via the interface unit 3.

The central processing unit 1 starts the data table creation by the operator's key operation from the keyboard 5 and stores the design information of the applied system created by the word processor from the floppy disk 6 as the system constant information storage means. The design information file F as the stored system constant information is read, and the design information file F is read.
Based on the correspondence table showing the correspondence between the setting data set in the data table and the constant data stored in the floppy disk 7, the setting data for the data table is obtained based on the correspondence table. To create.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described based on the flowchart showing the processing procedure of the central processing unit 1 shown in FIG. Here, a design information file F in which constant data of the applicable system is stored in advance, and a design information file F
It is assumed that a correspondence table showing the correspondence between the constant data of No. 2 and the setting data in the data table is created for each system constant, and the constant data storage order of the design information file F is set in advance arbitrarily. To do.

First, in step S1, constant data is read from the design information file F created in advance. Then, the process proceeds to step S2, it is determined what number data the read constant data is, a corresponding correspondence table is obtained from the judgment result, and the correspondence table is referred to.
Find the setting data in the data table corresponding to the constant data. Then, the process proceeds to step S3, the data table is set according to the obtained setting data, and step S3
Go to 4. In step S4, the design information file F
It is determined whether or not all the constant data of is set in the data table. If not set, the process returns to step S1 and the above procedure is repeated for the next constant data.
When setting is made for all constant data, the process ends.

Here, steps S1 to S4 correspond to the setting means. For example, a data table is created based on a design information file F stored in the floppy disk 6 in the order of transmission speed, transmission method, digital input points, analog input points, and presence / absence of options as shown in FIG. The operation for doing so will be described below.

At this time, the data table is Table 1
And Table 2, and Table 1 is shown in FIG.
As shown in (a), it is formed of 8 bits, and the bit pattern has transmission rate data of 0 to 3 bits, and is 9600, 4800, 2400, 120 in order from the 0th bit.
It becomes 0, the 4th bit is a transmission system non-procedure, the 5th bit is a transmission system BSC contention, the 6th bit is an option, and the 7th bit is an option. Further, as shown in FIG. 4B, the table 2 is formed of 2 bytes, one of which stores digital input points and the other of which stores analog input points.

Then, in advance, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, a correspondence table showing correspondence between constant data in the design information file F and setting data in the data table is created for each constant data. However, it is stored in the floppy disk 7. Here, T1 is transmission rate data,
T2 is transmission method data, and T3 is a correspondence table regarding the presence / absence of an option.

Then, the design information file F is read from the floppy disk 6 and the first constant data "9600 bps" of the design information file F is read. Since this constant data is stored first in the design information file F, it is understood that it is transmission rate data, and the correspondence table T1 for transmission rate data is referred to. And
When the transmission rate is “9600 bps”, “0th bit is ON” is set.
The 1st bit is set to "1" and the 1st to 3rd bits are set to "0".

Next, the second constant data "BSC contention" of the design information file F is read. Since this constant data is stored in the second position of the design information file, it is found that it is the transmission method data, Reference is made to the correspondence table T2 for transmission method data. And
If the transmission method is "BSC contention", "5"
Since the bit is "ON", the fifth bit of Table 1 is set to "1" and the fourth bit is set to "0".

Next, the third constant data "100" is read from the design information file F. Since this constant data is the third stored data, it is found that it is the digital input point data, and Table 2 "100" is set to the first byte of. Similarly, the fourth constant data “80” is read from the design information file F. Since this constant data is the fourth stored data, it can be seen that it is the number of analog input points. Set "80" to the eyes.

Then, the fifth constant data "○" is read from the design information file F. Since this constant data is the fifth stored data, it is known that it is the data indicating the presence or absence of the option, Referring to the correspondence table T3, if "with option", "6th bit is O
Since it is N ”, the 6th bit of Table 1 is set to“ 1 ”,
Set the 7th bit to "0".

As a result, all the constant data stored in the design information file F are set and a data table is created. Then, by coding this data table, the design information file F of FIG.
An application program to be applied to a system having is created. Therefore, as in the above-described embodiment, a correspondence table indicating correspondence between constant data and setting data in the data table is created in advance for each system constant, and the constant data in the design information file F and the correspondence table are created. Originally, by setting the setting data of the system constant in the data table, the data table can be created easily, and since it is not necessary for the operator to input data at the operator's discretion, there is no typo or misjudgment. Etc. can be prevented.

In the above embodiment, the case where a numerical value or the like is described for each system constant as shown in FIG. 3 as the design information file has been described, but as shown in FIG. It is also possible to represent constant data depending on whether or not there is a mark such as a circle in the data storage position. Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the design information file is stored in the floppy disk has been described. It is also possible to create a data table in and.

[0024]

As described above, according to the data table creating method of the present invention, the system constant information is stored in advance in the system constant information storage means and is set in the system constant information and the data table corresponding thereto. Since the correspondence table showing the correspondence with the setting data is provided, the setting data for the data table corresponding to the system constant information is obtained based on the correspondence table by the setting means, and this is set in the data table. A data table can be easily and surely created from constant information.
