JPS57157345A - Cursor shift controlling system in table forming control - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To increase the degree of freedom of table forming and to make the processing of many characters easy, by providing a row flag storage section and pointer information, and performing each in-field processing suitably, and chaining in-one-field procession to other processions. CONSTITUTION:In inputting a character *1- from the head of the 1st row of a field A, when the *1 key is inputted from a keyboard, an operation section 8 sets the code of *1 and decreased the value of spaces by one and displays the code on a display 3. Further, characters are sequentially inputted and line feed on the way of line feed mode information is made or the space value becomes 0, a decoder 10 reads the value 0 of row managing infomation. If characters are inputted further, the field boundary is exceeded and error display is made, and an AND circuit 11 turns on with further input, and the content of the upper- order bits of an address register 9 is renewed. That is, the content of the pointer information storage register 13 is set to the upper-order bits of the register 9. Thus, the character position of a field E is set to a cursor counter 4-2 and the cursor indicates its position.
