Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a programmer to reduce working burden and improve working efficiency by successively generating and displaying the record input areas on a display screen every time the input of a single record is over in order to input the records which are repetitively inputted while the stored repeating condition is satisfied. SOLUTION: A CPU decides whether the inter-time shift is caused by an indicating operation to a details part from a header part or between the details parts in response to the operation designated by the key input in an input part via a key. If the inter-item shift condition is satisfied (S21, S22), the details record number of a shift destination to be processed is set to a calculating object record register (S23). If the details record number is not secured (S24) and the details repeating condition is satisfied (S25), a details item data storing area is secured in an input data storing area (S26). The details item data storing area is initialized (S27) and than a display/input area is shown on a display screen for the initialized details items (S28).

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a slip input device suitable for slip creation processing and a storage medium for storing a processing program therefor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a slip creation program as a business application program applied to a business computer system, when a slip is created, data common to each slip (hereinafter referred to as a header part) and a slip Input of data describing the details of a transaction (hereinafter referred to as detailed data) within the form is a slip input requirement.

Here, the detailed data is a process of repeating the same item in order to input a plurality of records, and the process of inputting these records is performed by a programmer who forms an application program by using a predetermined processing language. It was created by describing in. The header data is data corresponding to a higher layer of the detailed data,
In many cases, the summary of the detailed data is displayed.
A programmer who sets up an application program also creates a totaling process and the like of these header data by describing the processing contents in a predetermined processing language.

In recent years, a GUI (Graphical User Inter
face) With the development of programming technology in the environment, event-driven (event driven) programming is increasing. In the event-driven programming, for example, a display component called an object and a function (hereinafter, referred to as a function) that describes processing for an operation performed by the user on the display component
Callback function).

[0005]

However, in such a conventional program development environment related to slip creation, there is a concept of arranging objects defining processing contents, but the above-described header data, detailed data, etc. Since there is no concept of arranging records, there is a problem that a programmer must code an array of records by combining an array of objects, which increases the amount of coding and increases the work load of the programmer. Was.

Similarly, in the above-mentioned programming environment, there is no hierarchical concept like the relationship between the above-mentioned header data and the detailed data. , Since each process was described in a programming language, the amount of coding also increased in this case,
There was a problem of increasing the work load of the programmer.

Also, in a slip input process in which an arithmetic expression of an input item is defined in advance and an expression defined by a change in the value of the input item is sequentially processed, if the concept of the data hierarchy does not exist, In the process of recalculating the detailed data due to the change of the header data, it was necessary to describe in a programming language as a special process, so the description content of the programming language in creating an application program became complicated. , Again increasing the work load of the programmer.

Further, in the event driven programming environment as a program development environment, although there are callback functions linked to screen objects, the timing at which a record is switched from detail data to header data, the header data, etc. In the case where the processing shifts from item to detailed data, there is no logical concept, so the record switching process must be performed at the timing of the focus movement between items. If an item is added or deleted, In such a case, it is necessary to change the location where the callback function is written, which causes a problem that the maintainability of the program is reduced.

An object of the present invention is to make it possible to define the existence of items in a programming environment related to slip creation, and when the hierarchy is a repetition input hierarchy, recognize a set of defined items as a record and only define repetition conditions. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a slip input environment that enables automatic repetitive input control of records and programming of a record array.

[0010]

According to the first aspect of the present invention,
Item hierarchy definition means for defining a hierarchy in which item data exists, and actual data storage for classifying and storing input real data for each hierarchy based on the hierarchy definition of the item data defined by the item hierarchy definition means Means, a repetition condition storage means for storing repetition conditions for controlling repetition of input of item data to be repeatedly input, and a record repeatedly input while the repetition conditions stored in the repetition condition storage means are satisfied. Display input means for sequentially generating a record input area for each input of one record and displaying the record input area on a display screen.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the hierarchy in which the item data exists is defined by the item hierarchy definition means, and is input based on the hierarchy definition of the item data defined by the item hierarchy definition means. The actual data is classified into layers and stored in the actual data storage means. The repetition conditions for controlling the input repetition of the item data which is repeatedly input are stored in the repetition condition storage means, and stored in the repetition condition storage means. While the repetition condition is satisfied, the display control means sequentially generates a record input area for inputting a record to be repeatedly input each time one record is input, and displays the record input area on the display screen.

[0012] Therefore, it is possible to specify a hierarchy (for example, header and detail) where data exists in the slip, manage a portion for inputting repeated data such as detail items by an array of records, specify a display area, and display a screen. Since buffer management can be managed by the processing system, when creating a slip entry application program, it is not necessary to describe the layout of the detail entry screen and the data management process for all the detail items, and the slip entry When creating an application program, the work load on the programmer can be reduced, and work efficiency can be improved.

[0013]

If the transfer conditions between these items are met, the detailed record number of the destination to be processed is set in the calculation target record register 87 in the slip creation information storage file 8, and the detailed record number must be secured. For example, it is checked whether the detail repetition condition stored in the detail repetition condition storage area 81 in the slip creation information storage file 8 is satisfied. If the detail repetition condition is satisfied, the CPU 2 secures a detail item data storage area in the input data storage area 83 as a management area for the detail item record, and initializes the detail item data storage area. Based on the initialization data and the layout information of the detailed item stored in the screen layout information storage area 84, the display / input area of the detailed item is displayed on the display screen of the display unit 4.

A storage device having the storage medium may be provided on the other connected device side, and the program and data stored in the storage medium 7 may be used via a communication line.

The slip creation information storage file 8 is stored in the CP
As an area for storing slip creation information used in various processes related to slip creation performed by U2, FIG.
As shown in the figure, a detailed repetition condition storage area 81, each item calculation method storage area 82, an input data storage area 83, a screen layout information storage area 84, and an item basic information storage area 8
5, an item-related information storage area 86, and an operation target record register 87.

The detail repetition condition storage area 81 stores conditions for repeating the input data input to the detail area in the slip. That is, it specifies the upper limit of the number of records of the detailed data to be input, describes conditions for the value of a certain item, and describes conditions for calculation and processing between items. The CPU 2 controls the repetition process of inputting detailed data according to the detailed repetition condition.

In each item calculation method storage area 82, a calculation procedure such as what calculation is used to create data of each item set in the slip is stored. That is, although the item whose data is determined by the input processing does not exist, the item generated by the operation processing between the items has a definition of the operation procedure indicating how the data of the item is generated. Is stored.

The input data storage area 83 stores data input from the input section 3 by an operator and data obtained by arithmetic processing. That is, the first
According to the embodiment, the input data and the arithmetic processing data are classified and stored according to the hierarchy (header and specification) to which the data defined by the item basic information stored in the item basic information storage area 85 belongs. Data is stored in record units. Further, the input data storage area 83 does not always have a storage area for a predetermined number of records for the detailed data, and the storage area of the input data is stored when the record is actually required. Are generated, and are dynamically generated for the number of input data that matches the detail repetition condition.

The screen layout information storage area 84 stores screen layout information such as how to arrange input areas and display items when displaying a slip on the display screen of the display unit 7. That is, in the case of the first embodiment, the screen layout information of the header section item is managed in absolute coordinates with reference to the display screen, and the screen layout information of the detail data is an area for displaying a detail section called a detail area. , An area for displaying a detail heading, and a width for displaying one detail record are specified. Further, the screen layout information of each item is managed by relative coordinates based on the display area of one detailed record, so that only one record of the screen layout information is managed.

The item basic information storage area 85 stores basic attributes of each item set in the slip. That is, basically, item basic information defining the type of data (numerical values, characters, and the like) to be input to the items in the slip, the length of data that can be input, and the like is stored. In the first embodiment, item basic attributes can be defined for each layer (header and item) to which data belongs.

The item related information storage area 86 stores related information such as which value of another item to be recalculated when the value of an item in the slip changes. That is, for example, when the data input from the input unit 3 has changed from the previous input value, the calculation method in the “each item calculation method storage area” that needs to be changed is specified using this input data. Then, a description for recalculating the arithmetic expression is stored. In the case of the “sales slip” shown in FIG. 3, the following “item-related information” is described. "Product code" → "Product name, unit price", "Product name" → "No definition",
"Unit price" → "Amount", "Quantity" → "Amount", "Amount" →
"No definition" This item-related information is derived from the data stored in the "each item operation method storage area", but may be generated at the time of execution of the processing, or by using a method such as a compiler. In this case, it may be generated before the execution of the processing.

The calculation target record register 87 is used to secure data indicating which record of the detail record is currently being processed. When an operation between items in the specification is performed based on the value stored in this register, a record number is not specified each time.
Calculation can be performed only by specifying the item name.

The slip data storage file 9 stores C in accordance with various definition information stored in the slip creation information storage file 8.
A plurality of various slip files created by the PU2 are stored.

Next, the operation of the first embodiment will be described. First, an initial screen display process executed by the CPU 2 as various processes related to slip creation will be described with reference to a flowchart shown in FIG. In this initial screen display processing, processing such as general screen initial processing and window generation is omitted at all.

In FIG. 4, the CPU 2 first searches for "item basic information" stored in the item basic information storage area 85 in the slip creation information storage file 8, and retrieves the information in the sales slip as shown in FIG. It is checked whether an item belonging to the header section is defined (step S1). If the item belonging to the header section is not defined, step S5
If the items belonging to the header section (“customer code” section, “customer name” section, and “total” section) are defined, the input data in the slip creation information storage file 8 A header item storage area for managing the input data of the header item is secured in the storage area 83 (step S
2). Next, the CPU 2 searches the item calculation method storage area 82 in the slip creation information storage file 8, reads out information on the initialization processing of the corresponding header item, and stores the input data based on the information on the initialization processing. The value of the header item storage area secured in the area 83 is initialized (step S
3). Then, the CPU 2 calculates the initialized data,
Referring to the layout information of each item stored in the screen layout information storage area 84 of the slip creation information storage file 8, the display / input area of the header item is displayed on the display screen of the display unit 4 (step S4). .

Next, the CPU 2 searches for “item basic information” stored in the item basic information storage area 85, and
Check whether the items belonging to the detail part (the table part where each item item of “product code / product name / unit price / quantity / amount” is set) in the sales slip as shown in (1) are defined. (Step S5). If the item belonging to the detail section is not defined, the initial screen display process is terminated. If the item belonging to the detail section is defined, the detail area stored in the screen layout information storage area 84 is displayed. The area information is acquired, and the detail part display area is secured in the screen buffer in the RAM 5 corresponding to the display screen of the display unit 4 (step S).
6).

Then, the CPU 2 reads out the detailed heading layout information of the detailed area stored in the screen layout information storage area 84, develops the detailed heading in the detailed part display area on the screen buffer, and outputs the detailed heading. Is displayed together with the detail display area on the display screen (step S7). Further, the CPU 2 calculates the number of detail display lines that can be displayed in the detail display area by the following calculation formula (1). Number of detail display lines = (detail area vertical width-detail heading area vertical width) / 1 record display vertical width (1) However, each content of each calculation item in this calculation formula (1) is shown in FIG. It is on the street.

Based on the number of detail display lines calculated from the calculation formula (1) and the layout information of the detail items obtained from the screen layout information storage area 84, the number of detail items corresponding to the number of detail lines are determined in the above-described step. It is displayed in the detail part display area displayed in S7 (step S8), and the initial screen display processing ends.

At the stage of displaying the initial screen by the above-described initial screen display processing, even if there is an item belonging to the detailed part in the slip, the storage area for managing the detailed record is not secured, and the data is initialized. Not done.

Next, a description will be given, with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. This detailed record storage area securing process is started each time a movement between items in a slip occurs due to a key input instruction operation or a mouse instruction operation by the operator in the input unit 3. That is,
For example, when data is input to a certain item in a slip and the item is moved to the input position of the next item by a return key operation or a mouse operation, this processing is started.

In FIG. 5, when the operator moves between the items in the slip by the key operation or the mouse operation by the operator, the movement between the items is changed from the item in the header part to the detail part. Then, it is determined whether or not the item is moved to the item or the item is moved between the records of the detailed part (steps S21 and S22). If it is an inter-item movement that does not satisfy these item movement conditions, the securing process of the detailed record storage area is terminated, and if it is an inter-item movement that satisfies these item movement conditions, it becomes a processing target. The destination detailed record number is set as a record in the calculation target record register 87 of the slip creation information storage file 8 (step S23), and it is checked whether the destination detailed record has already been secured (step S23). S24).

If the destination detail record has already been secured, the securing process of the present detail record storage area is terminated. If the destination detail record has not been secured, the destination detail record is deleted. It is checked whether or not the “detailed condition for repetition” defined in the detail repetition condition storage area 81 is satisfied (step S2).
5). If the “details repetition condition” is not satisfied, the process of securing the detail description record storage area ends, and if the “details repetition condition” is satisfied, data is added to the item to be moved. Since the storage area has not been generated yet, a storage area for newly managing the detail record is secured in the input data storage area 83 (step S26).

At this time, when securing the detail record storage area in the input data storage area 83, the definition information for the detail record stored in the item basic information storage area 85 is referred to, and the hierarchy information is stored in the detail section. Only the items to which they belong are processed.

Next, the CPU 2 refers to the operation definition of the item belonging to the item hierarchy defined in each item operation method storage area 82 of the slip creation information storage file 8 and obtains each item secured in step S26. Initialization data is set in the storage area of the item (step S27). Based on the layout data of the detailed items defined in the screen layout information storage area 84,
Display in the display area of the corresponding detail record (step S2
8), the process of securing the specification record storage area ends.

By the above-described detailed record storage area securing processing, a storage area for managing the record of the detailed item is secured. The management area of each item generated as described above can be uniquely specified by the input hierarchy, item name, and record number. Further, the display position of the detailed item on the display screen is also displayed in the detailed record display area calculated from the record number of the detailed item, so that it can be uniquely determined.

Therefore, the processing of storing data input from the keyboard of the input unit 3, managing the display of the data on the screen, and recalculating the detailed items which must be changed according to the input data, are all performed in the above three steps. The information is managed using the information of the input hierarchy, item name, and record number as key information.

When recalculation between detailed items is performed due to a change in the value of an item or the like, calculation is performed with reference to the calculation target record number stored in the calculation target record register 87 of the slip creation information storage file 8. This makes it possible to specify a recalculation item using only the item name and the input hierarchy as key information.

Therefore, in the computer system 1 according to the first embodiment, it is possible to specify a hierarchy (header and detail) where data exists in a slip, and to record a portion for inputting repeated data such as a detail item in a record. In the case where an application program is created, the layout of the detail input screen and the data management processing are all performed by specifying the display area and the screen display buffer management by the processing system on the CPU 2 side. When creating a slip input application program, the work load on the programmer can be reduced and the work efficiency can be improved.

In the first embodiment, the case where the size of the detail area is fixed is shown in the slip configuration shown in FIG. 3, but a scroll bar is displayed beside the detail area. Thus, the detail area may be managed as a scroll area. Although the display area is a fixed area, data of the previous screen / next screen may be displayed by a page operation.

Further, in the first embodiment, the case where the layers are expressed in two layers such as the header part and the specification part has been described, but the input area is further repeated as a layer below the specification part. The initial screen display processing and the detailed record storage area securing processing according to the present invention can be applied to such a multi-layer input format.

Further, in the slip configuration shown in FIG.
The process for obtaining the total of the detailed data can be performed by describing the following calculation formula (2) in the calculation formula of the item of the upper hierarchy.

Total = Details aggregation (amount) (2) The function shown as the details aggregation is a special function,
This function is not a function that performs processing using the value of an item described as an argument as an input value, but a function that operates on all record data of the item of money in the lower hierarchy. That is,
When such a function is described in the calculation formula of the item of the header part, an input occurs in the item of the specification part and the “method of calculating between items”
When the recalculation processing is executed based on the definition of “item-related information” and the content of “item-related information”, the total content of all records in the detailed section is calculated based on the definition of “each item calculation method” in the first embodiment. , And can be sequentially displayed as header information.

For this reason, it is possible to describe the statistical processing for the lower-level record array from the upper level, and to refer to the lower-level items when recalculating based on the “item-related information”. By providing a function of detecting and automatically calculating, it is possible to eliminate the need for the work of processing description described every time the item data of the specification section changes, further reducing the work load of the programmer. And the working efficiency can be further improved. [Second Embodiment] FIGS. 6 and 7 show a computer system 1 according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The configuration of the main part of the computer system 1 in the second embodiment is the same as that shown in FIG. 1 in the first embodiment, and the illustration and the configuration description are omitted.

In the second embodiment, a process for calculating the ratio of the amount of each item as in a sales slip shown in FIG. 6 based on the total calculated in the first embodiment is performed. Will be described. In this case, the following formula (3) is described in the item of the ratio.

Ratio = Amount / Total (3) In the case of the sales slip shown in FIG. 6, “Ratio” belongs to the detail section, and “Total” belongs to the header section. For this reason, in the processing in the first embodiment, even if the “total” changes, only the item of “ratio” of the detail record currently being processed is changed by the recalculation processing. The item of “Ratio” in the detail record does not change. Therefore, by performing the following processing, the “ratio” of all records is changed.

First, the hierarchical information is stored together with the item name in the related information in the “item related information” generated prior to the execution of the process. That is, in the example of the sales slip shown in FIG. 6, the following “item-related information” is stored.

"Customer code" → "Customer name (header)", "Customer name" → "No definition", "Product code"
→ “Product name (details), unit price (details)”, “Product name” →
"No definition", "Unit price" → "Amount (detail)", "Quantity"
→ “Amount (Details)”, “Amount” → “Ratio (Details)”,
“Ratio” → “No definition”, “Total” → “Ratio (details)” Next, the flow chart shown in FIG. 7 regarding the detail item data recalculation process executed by the CPU 2 to recalculate the “ratio” of the detail record. It will be described based on. This process is executed when the value of each item changes due to input to a slip or recalculation processing.

In FIG. 7, the CPU 2 first determines whether or not the item whose value has changed is an item in the header section (step S31). If the item whose value has changed is not an item in the header section, the recalculation processing of this specification item data is terminated. If the item in which the value change has occurred is an item in the header section, recalculation is performed next. It is determined whether or not the item to be performed belongs to the specification section with reference to the definition content of the “item related information” (step S32). Next, if the item to be recalculated does not belong to the detail section, the specification item data recalculation process ends, and if the item to be recalculated next belongs to the detail section, Then, "1" indicating the first record is set in the operation target record register 87 in order to process the first record of the specification part (step S33).

Next, the CPU 2 checks whether or not the detailed record set in the operation target record register 87 exists (step S34). If not, the CPU 2 terminates the present specification item data recalculation processing and exits. For example, in order to recalculate the target detailed record, an arithmetic expression defined in each item operation information storage area 82 is obtained, and the specific record is recalculated (step S3).
5). Then, the CPU 2 increments the value set in the calculation target record register 87 by "1" in order to process the next detailed record (step S36), and returns to the process of step S34 to return to the target detailed record. Is repeatedly executed.

As described above, by executing the item item data recalculation processing, in the sales slip shown in FIG. 6, the recalculation of the “ratio” which is the target item of all the item records existing in the item portion is performed. It is possible to do. Therefore, in the computer system 1 according to the second embodiment, when an item defined in the header part is referred to in the specification part, the reference relationship is extracted from the “item-related information” and the specification item is extracted. Can be provided, and the programmer who creates the application program does not need to write the loop process for recalculating the data in the specification section, further reducing the work load of the programmer. And the working efficiency can be further improved.

In the second embodiment, the "ratio" is obtained by using the item of the header part which is the upper layer. However, this method is not used. It is also possible to calculate the “ratio” using a function directly from the item “amount”. in this case,
By providing a flag in the "item related information" to perform an operation using a special function with item arguments in the same hierarchy, the flag is re-calculated by the detailed item data recalculation processing shown in FIG. 7 in the second embodiment. Calculations can be performed.

In the first embodiment, FIG.
A modification of the detailed record storage area securing processing shown in FIG. 8 will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG. In the modified example of the detailed record storage area securing processing shown in FIG. 8, steps S42 and S44 in the figure are added. Step S41, step S43, and steps S45 to S50 correspond to step S2 shown in FIG.
Since the processing contents are the same as those in steps 1 to S28, the description of the processing is omitted.

In FIG. 8, in step S42, a movement between items in the slip occurs, and when the movement between the items is a movement from an item in the header part to an item in the specification part, the description is changed from the header part to the specification part. The processing (event) related to the detailed part is executed at the timing of moving to the part. Step S4
In No. 4, when the movement between the items in the slip occurs and the movement between the items is the movement of the item between the records of the detailed part, a process (event) related to the record at the movement timing to the record Execute

As described above, since it is possible to describe the processing to be executed at a timing different from the definition of the item, of the processing conventionally performed at the timing of the movement between the items, the switching of the hierarchy or the actual processing is performed. Since it is possible to separate the processing required by switching records, it is not necessary to change the position of the processing description in the program even when an item is added or deleted, thus maintaining the application program. Can be facilitated. As a result, the maintainability of the application program can be improved, and the development of the event-driven program becomes easy.

The configuration of the sales slips to be processed described in each of the above embodiments is merely an example, and the present invention can be applied to various other slips and various files for inputting records having a hierarchical structure. Initial screen display processing shown in the form,
The process of securing the detail record storage area and the process of recalculating the detail item data can be applied, which can contribute to reducing the work load of a programmer who creates various application programs and improving the work efficiency.

[0062]

According to the slip input device according to the first aspect and the storage medium according to the fourth aspect of the present invention, it is possible to specify a hierarchy (for example, header and detail) where data exists in the slip, and Since the input of repeated data such as items is managed by an array of records and the display area can be specified and the screen display buffer management can be managed by the processing system, when creating a slip input application program, There is no need to describe the layout of the detail entry screen and the data management process for all the detail items. When creating a slip entry application program, the work load on the programmer can be reduced and the work efficiency can be improved. .

According to the slip input device of the second aspect, when the function is described in the calculation formula of the item of the header part,
When an input occurs in the item of the detail part, it becomes possible to calculate the total of all the records of the detail part according to the definition contents and to sequentially display the result as header information.

According to the slip input device of the third aspect of the present invention, it is possible to describe a process to be executed at a timing different from the definition of an item, which is required for switching between hierarchies and switching between records. Process can be separated, so that even when an item is added or deleted, it is not necessary to change the position of the process description in the program, and maintenance of the application program can be facilitated. . As a result, the maintainability of the application program can be improved, and the development of the event-driven program becomes easy.
