JPS5842503B2 - Slip data creation method - Google Patents

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a slip data creation method that allows slip data to be input without error.

Data entry must, of course, be accurate and free from errors.

Checking is effective in eliminating errors, and for items with a certain format, such as slips, it is possible to perform this check automatically and in great detail.

For example, since it is known in advance that a number is expected to be entered in this field, by assigning a numeric check code to the field, an alarm can be issued immediately when something other than a number is entered in the field.

Also, groups of letters and numbers in the slip are separated appropriately, and there are blank spaces between each group, but if you assign an input prohibition code to these blank spaces, when data is entered in the blanks, A warning can be issued immediately.

Also, some fields have a fixed number of characters or numbers that should be entered in the field, and in such cases, you can memorize the number in advance and use it when the number of data entered from the keyboard is less than that number. Or an alarm can be issued when the amount is excessive.

However, if the above-mentioned insufficient or excessive number of fields does not have a clear boundary with the next field, there is a risk that a judgment error will occur due to the flow from the next field.

For example, if one field is a 3-digit number field, and the next field is a date field and the number of numbers changes, even if you accidentally enter only two numbers in the number field, the next date will be There is a risk that adding the first number in the column may result in a erroneous judgment that the correct three-digit number has been entered.

This kind of accident can be prevented by putting a delimiter or mark on each field, for example, by pressing a certain key for each field, but it is cumbersome to perform this operation for each field that has a large number of fields. This also slows down the data input speed.

The present invention has been made in view of these points, and its feature is a method for creating slip data that creates slip data having a plurality of fields each consisting of a predetermined number of data. a data input means for inputting the data entered, an instruction key for instructing to switch the field into which data is to be input, and an instruction key provided corresponding to each of the fields to input data to the next field when the instruction key is not operated. A separator instruction means for instructing to prohibit input is provided, and when there is a separator instruction by the separator instruction means, input to the next field is invalidated unless the instruction key is pressed.

This will be explained in detail below with reference to Examples.

FIG. 1 shows an example of a slip handled by the present invention.

Generally, the slip 2 consists of a header part 4 and a body part 8.
In this example, part of the header is the document name "Regular Purchase Order",
and the order date, etc., and the body part consists of the product number code, quantity, etc.

In order to input data for ordering products according to this slip, a keyboard (not shown) equipped with a display and a printer (terminal device connected to a telephone line) is used to input data as follows.

First, press the "Select" key on the keyboard and "
The words "Centaf" appear.

Next, when the number "1" key is pressed, the characters "Hizuke" appear on the display, and the printer prints *Hatsuchu*Sentaku1.

This means that the format program for the type 1 slip, that is, the slip in the format shown in FIG. 1, has been selected.

Next, when you key in 541017 and the date, 541017...JJJ 001 appears on the display.

Here, "541017J is one item, and the area into which one item is input is one field."

"..." indicates the next field, and the following "" is the same.

The whole line shows one line, and the mark means that in this line you must press the space key to move to the next field.
It means.

The operator then presses the ``space'' key, and the ``tempo code'' appears on the display, and then presses the function key ``Fl'', in which the store code has been registered, and the display shows the information written on the slip. The store code appears as 541017 01295Jj001 along with the date.

Next, when you press "Space", "Show Zaikubun" appears on the display, and when you press "0", which means "normal", the display becomes 541017 01295 0J 001.

Next, press "Space" and the display will display "Akakurokubun"
Then, if you press rOJ, which means "black", the display will become 541017 01295 0 0 001, and 1
The line is full.

In this S, a part of the slip header is treated as one line.

Next, press "Space" and "Memory input" and the display will show "
Himban code” and the printer is 541017 0
1295 0 0 are printed and these data are written to the transmit memory.

In this way, data input for part of the header is completed, and next, data input for the body part begins.

When you enter the product number code "13903J" according to the instructions, the display will show "13903..."002, then "
When you press "Space," the display changes to "SURRAYYO." Then, when you enter "20J," the display becomes 13903 20 002.

This completes one line of the body section, so next press "Space" and "
When you press ``Memory Power'', the display changes to ``Hinban Code'', the printer prints 13903 20 002, and these data are written to the transmission memory.

Next, enter the next product number code, enter the quantity, press "space" and "memory input", and the same process is repeated.

If you do this, for example, when entering the product number code and quantity for the second time for the body part, 13772 will be changed to 1377,
Next, when "Space" is pressed, since the product number code is registered as 5 digits, an error is immediately discovered and a warning is displayed.

On the other hand, if you make it possible to input the next field without pressing the space key, in the above example, 137
Since 7.350 is input, it is 13773.5 on the device side.
It is mistakenly determined that 0 was entered, no error message is displayed, and 50 pieces of item number 13773 are ordered.

In this way, registering the presence of a separator in the format check program and making it so that you cannot proceed to the next field unless you press Separate is effective in preventing error checks from being missed due to data flowing sideways, but when changing fields, If you always press the space key, it will be cumbersome and meaningless if there are many fields, and if the next field after a numeric field is a kana field, where you can detect the separation of fields without having to press the space key. It will happen.

Therefore, in the present invention, a bit is provided in the management program to indicate the presence or absence of a separator, and if the bit indicates that a separator is present, it is not possible to proceed to the next field without pressing the space key.
And if you want to indicate no separator, you can proceed to the next space without pressing the space key.

FIG. 2 shows this format check program.

As shown in FIG. 2, in the present invention, one line consists of a predetermined number of digits,
In this example, there are 20 digits, and a check parameter indicating the check procedure for that digit is assigned to each digit, and chaining, separator presence/absence, and guidance bits are added to the check parameter array to create a line format check program.

Check parameters 1, 2, 3...E indicate the following check functions.

1...Free field, 2...Number check, 3...Addition field, 4...
・Addition result verification field, 5... Modulus 11 field, 6, 7... Required input field, 8, 9... Full digit fill field, A...
...Input prohibited field, B, C...Multiple check.

The details of these check functions are not directly related to the present invention, so their explanation will be omitted, but the line format check program (for simplicity) is Here, the "check program" is omitted as appropriate), and this device can prepare 12 types of line formats: 1, 2, . . ., C.

Parameter 1.0 indicating presence or absence of a separator is written in the separator presence/absence column of the line format, and determines whether or not the space key should be pressed for each field when inputting data for the current load.

A slip generally consists of a plurality of lines, and a slip format is created by assigning one of 12 different line formats to the current load according to the characteristics of each line of the slip.

In this example, four types of slip formats are prepared.

Data input control based on the presence/absence of a separate break is mainly performed by software, but if explained in terms of hardware, it will be as shown in FIG. 3.

10 is a memory for storing the row format, and 12 is a register for storing the row format read out one row at a time.

As shown in Figure 2, the row format includes a chaining function represented by any parameter from 0 to 3, 0
, 1, a guidance presence specification expressed by a parameter of 0.1, and a check function parameter for each character of <20 digits after that.

The AND gate G1 receives the separator presence/absence specification parameter directly, and the AND gate G2 receives the separator presence/absence designation parameter via the inverter (2).

Therefore, if it is "1" with a separator, the gate G1 opens, and if rOJ does not have a separator, the gate G2 opens.

Reference numeral 14 denotes a data key for inputting each number and character of the slip.The input data is temporarily stored in the disk 18 and then enters the processing device 20 to be printed out and transmitted. A data input check is performed by a check function No. 12 (this system is not shown).

When one item has been input, and assuming that the load is registered as having a separator, the operator presses the space key 16.

Now the AND gate G3 is opened, and since the circuit 22 for detecting the end of one field is now producing an output, the AND gate G4 is also opened, so that when the operator enters the data for the next field, the control circuit 22 ,
G4. A signal is sent to an OR gate G5 in the G1.degree.G3 system, and the gate G5 outputs a signal SG instructing to check the input data of the next field.

If the operator does not press the space key 16, the AND gate G3 is closed and therefore the signal SG is not output.
Since no check is performed, no data is entered into the processing device 20, and instead an alarm is generated.

When there is no separator, AND gate G2 outputs, so OR gate G5 outputs signal SG regardless of whether the space key 16 is pressed or not. Therefore, if there is data input, a check is performed, and if the check is OK, the register 18
Data is input to the processing device 20 from.

As explained above, according to the present invention, a separator presence/absence designating bit is added to the line format program that checks input data, so that data input can be ensured and speeded up, and is therefore effective.
