FIG. 1 shows the configuration of a data input device to which the essential input item check method of the data input device of the present invention is applied. In FIG. 1, the data input device includes a control device 1, a display device 2, an input device 3, and storage devices 4 and 5, and the control device 1 includes a data input screen storage control unit 11 and a data screen display control unit 12. It is composed of an input device control unit 13 and an essential item check unit 14.

The display device 2 is composed of, for example, a CRT display, displays a data input screen that can be currently input from the input device 3, displays inputtable input items in the data input screen, and inputs from the input device 3. The monitor display of the input operation of the selected data and commands is performed.

The input device 3 is composed of, for example, a keyboard, and is operated by an operator to input data, call a data input screen, and the like.

The storage devices 4 and 5 are composed of, for example, a main memory such as a semiconductor memory and an auxiliary memory such as a magnetic disk device, and store information relating to a data input screen displayed on the display device 2. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, information relating to the input screen a corresponding to the data input screen number,
Input control information b for each data input screen (item code, line position, column position, data length, check information for all input items) and key input items that specify key input items that are keys when desperately checking items The code c and essential item information d indicating essential input items are stored. The key input item is an input item for selecting any one of a plurality of functions included in one data input screen, and corresponds to "01: function" in the example of FIG. In addition, the essential item information d is a feature of the present invention, and information on whether or not each item code is essential is set according to the value of the key input item, that is, the function. In addition, since it is possible that no data has been entered in the key entry items, in case of such a case, information on whether or not each item code is required is set in order to adapt to any function. ing.

The operation of the above embodiment will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, when the operation is started, in step 101, a process of setting the display screen of the display device 2 as an initial screen is performed. That is, when the data input screen control unit 11 detects that it is in the initial state, the data input screen number is determined to be that of the initial screen.

Next, at step 102, the display preparation and display of the data input screen displayed on the display device 2 are performed. That is, based on the data input screen number determined in step 101 (similarly to steps 114 and 116), the information of the data input screen, the input control information, the key input item code, and the required item information are stored from one of the storage devices 4 and 5. Is the data input screen storage controller
11, the information of the data input screen is given to the display device 2 via the data input screen display control unit 12 to be displayed, and the key input item code and the essential item information are given to the essential item checking unit 14 and held. Then, the input control information is passed to the input device control unit 13 to wait for the data input from the input device 3 by the operator.

Step 103 is an operator's data input operation, in which data is input using the input device 3 based on the data input screen displayed on the display device 2.

Next, in steps 104 and 108, the data input by the operator in step 103 is distributed. That is, the data input by the operator is analyzed by the input device controller 13 in steps 104 and 108, and if the data input operation is step 105, if the data input completion operation is step 109.
If it is a screen call operation, control is transferred to step 116.

In step 105, the data input in step 103 is formally checked. That is, the data input by the input device control unit 13 is checked based on the check contents (for example, attribute check, length check, etc.) in the input control information obtained in step 102. Then, in the case of a check error, a measure such as notifying the operator of the error is taken, and the control is moved to step 103. If the check is normal, control is passed to step 106.

In step 106, a saving process of the data input in step 103 is performed. That is, the input device control unit 13 pairs and stores the item code of the input item and the input data. Then, the control is moved to step 107.

In step 107, the process of advancing the input item to the next is performed. That is, the next item on the table in the input control information obtained in step 102 is determined as the next input item by the input device control unit 13, and the control proceeds to step 103.

On the other hand, steps 109 to 115 are data input completion processing.

First, in step 109, as a preliminary preparation for checking whether or not the required input items have been input, a check is made as to whether or not data has been input to the key input items. That is, when the completion key depression, which means the end of data input, is transferred to step 109 detected in steps 104 and 108, step 106 is executed.
The input item code and the input data saved in step 1 are passed from the input operation control part 13 to the required item check part 14, and whether the data is entered in the key input item indicated by the key input item code obtained in step 102. Whether or not it is checked by the essential item check unit 14. Then, when the data is already input to the key input item, the control is moved to step 110. If the input has not been completed, the control is moved to step 111.

In step 110, a mandatory item check process is performed when data has already been input to the key input item. That is, the essential item check unit 14 inspects the essential item information obtained in step 102 using the values input to the key input items, and a list of essential item codes is created. The input item code obtained in step 109 is matched, and if there is a required item code that has not been input, it is listed as an error and matched with all the required item codes. And after finishing all the matching, step 11
Control is transferred to 2.

In step 111, an essential item check process is performed when no data is input in the key input item. That is, since the key input items have not been completed for the essential item information obtained in step 102, the essential item check unit 14 performs an inspection, and a list of essential item codes is created. The obtained input item code is matched, and if there is a mandatory item code that has not been entered, it is listed as an error and matched with all the mandatory item codes. Then, after all the matching is completed, the control is transferred to step 112.

In step 112, the subsequent processing is branched depending on the processing result in step 110 or step 111. That is,
If there is a mandatory input item that has not been input in the check in step 110 or step 111, step 115
Control is transferred to step 113, and if all the required input items have been input, the control is transferred to step 113.

In step 113, a process of transmitting the input data to the upper device is performed as a business process. That is, when the essential item check unit 14 notifies the input device control unit 13 that the essential item check is normal, the input data stored in step 106 is edited by the input device control unit 13 and sent to the host device. The transmission is done. Then, the higher-level device performs business processing based on the received data. Further, in the data input device, the control step 114 is performed.

In step 114, preparation for the next data input is made. That is, the input item code and the input data stored in step 106 are erased by the input device control unit 13, the screen number of the next data input screen is set as the data input screen number, and the control is transferred to step 102. .

Further, in step 115, error processing is performed. That is, the essential item check unit 14 notifies the input device control unit 13 of the list of the item codes that have not been input, out of the essential input items listed in step 110 or step 111. Then, the output device (not shown) connected to the input device control unit 13 notifies the operator of the uncompleted input item code, the input item is changed to the first one on the data input screen, and the control is transferred to step 103. Be done.

On the other hand, in step 116, the processing of the screen call operation by the operator is performed. That is, the screen number input by the operator is set as the data input screen number, and step 102
Control is transferred to.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, in the essential input item check method of the data input device of the present invention, the essential input item is determined by the data input device according to the value of the key input item for selecting the function on the data input screen, Since it is checked whether or not data has been input to these required input items, even if there are multiple functions on one data input screen and the required input items differ for each function, the business program does not Since there is no need for checking, it is possible to check the required input items without increasing the load on the business program. Further, since a data input screen having a plurality of functions can be freely created, there is an effect that the number and type of data input screens can be optimized.
