Abstract

PURPOSE:To outputs a file dump list sectioned into item units while using one file dump list output means in common regardless of different record definition information. CONSTITUTION:According to information inputted from a terminal keyboard 1, record definition information is extracted from a source library file 4 and an object member file 6 is generated. On the basis of this object member file 6, a generated arrangement parameter 8 is applied to the data file 10 and the file dump list sectioned by items is outputted on a specified printer device 12.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

The present invention relates, _{in the file dump output support method definitive} in system development using the computer
It relates, in particular, about _{the file dump output support method on the occasion} of the output of the file dump used for data verification.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, this type of file dump output support method has been used as a means for checking the contents of a file when verifying whether a created program is correct.

A conventional file dump output support method is described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-135250. The file dump output support method described in this publication includes a definition information input unit that reads definition information of a record to be output, an item instruction unit that instructs a method of selecting and editing an item to be output, and an item that analyzes the instruction. Instruction analysis means, selection / editing means for selecting / editing according to the analyzed instructions, source output means for outputting the selected / edited item to the source program, and conversion means for converting the source program into machine language. Means. Create a program for each record or editing method you want to check, and output a file dump.

[0004]

In this conventional file dump output support method, a program is created in record units or record edit units. Therefore, the contents of the record definition can be modified or items to be edited can be edited. Only by means of recreating the program, changes such as additions can be dealt with. There is also a problem that the more the number of records to be confirmed or the number of patterns to be edited, the more the number of programs and the amount of storage area required by the programs increases in proportion to the number of programs.

File dump output support how _methods of the present invention SUMMARY In order to achieve the above, use the input device, information necessary to output
_{In it,} the name of the source library files with record definition information, the member name of the record definition information to be output, the name of the data file that contains the data, a printer device for printing out the contents of the data file, _and printing A print file information input means for acquiring the format setting, an arrangement parameter creation means _for creating an arrangement parameter _{, which is} a parameter _for dividing each item based on the contents of the member of the record definition information to be output, and an arrangement. It is characterized by _including a file dump list output means for printing out the contents of the data file divided into item units according to the parameters to a designated printer device.

[0006]

The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing one embodiment of the present invention.

[0008] The _{input item information} 13 is information _{the user} to use the terminal keyboard _1, to enter. In the information _entered
There _are the following four types. _{That is,} record definition information
_{131, data file definition information 132,} a print format method ₁₃₃ to output, and a _{printer device name 134 of} the _{printer device} to output the _final result _by this _{method .}

[0009] In accordance with the record definition information 131 that is input from the _file information input unit _2, the target member extraction _and conversion means _5, from the source library file 4 having the record definition information, _extracts the record definition information of interest, the subject Create the member file 6. And arrange parameter generation means _7, extraction was created target member file 6
On the basis of the contents, _{we had} a row the creation of the arrangement parameter _8,
Also, previously _acquired, from the information 13 necessary to output, to create the location of the file to use, the parameters 9 with a name. Then is added the information of the two parameters 8,9 and file dump list creation means ₁₁ Ru _is performed, from the data file 10 specified in the data file definition information 132, the printing format specified in the print format method 133, According to the arrangement parameter 8, the data divided into the record item units is printed out to the printer device 12 designated by the printer device _{name 134} .

FIG. 2 shows a case where the file information input means 2 is used.
An input example _of the information to be acquired _{is shown} .

The record definition information 131 is information for creating the arrangement parameters 8 necessary for dividing records into record units. Here, the location where the source library file 4 in which the record definition information to be output exists exists, that is, the device _{name 1311} and the file name
_{1312, a} member name ₁₃₁₃ of the record definition information to be output Ru _is specified.
_{For example, “Disc No. 1” and “First Source Line”
“Bully” and “first member” are designated.}

The data file definition information 132 is information relating to the data file 10 containing data. Here, the location where the data file 10 exists, that is, the device name 1321 and the file name 1322 are specified.
_{For example, "Disk No. 2""
The "first data file" is designated.}

The print format method 133 returns _the result.
_This is information about _the printing format method _when printing. Here, in alpha format to print the contents of the data as it is,
Alternatively, or HEX format printing on a computer inside the code, or, the contents and the computer internal code of the data, or mixed format for printing on both, selected from the three types of print _{formats dividing} line. _{For example, "} Alpha
_{Format "is specified.}

The printer device name 134 is information on the printer 12 that prints out the result. Here, the printer _device 12 that prints out the result
_{The printer device name 1341} is designated.
_{For example, "Printer No. 1" is designated.}

FIG. 3 _{shows an} example of record definition information. This record definition information is stored in the source library file ₄ . From this record definition information, the arrangement parameter 8 which is the information for dividing the items is created. For example, the record definition information name is “data-rec”
The total length of the record is 20 bytes. From the first digit to the fourth digit, the numeric type item "da
"ta-a" 1314, and then the third to third digits become the same numeric type item "data-b" 1315 and so on.

FIG. 4 shows an example of the print output contents of the data file 10 divided into item units according to the arrangement parameter 8. There is a space between items, and the contents of the items can be clearly understood. For example, item “data-a”, item “data-b”, item “data-c”, item “d
data-e ", the item" data-e ", and one space between each item. The first data file contains" 0001 "for item" data-a "and" 0001 "for item" d ".
It can be seen at a glance that data-b is "001", item "data-c" is "abcde", item "data-d" is "aiueo", and item "data-e" is "fgh".

[0017]

As described above, the file dump output support method of the present invention is a means for creating a parameter having item division information from the target record definition information, that is, the same file by the parameter. The dump list output method is used to handle the classification information of different items. Therefore, you do not have to recreate the method associated with the addition or change of record definition information, and you only need to be aware of a certain amount of storage capacity. that _Sosu the effect of realizing the output divided by the easily visible list.
