Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a table registration method, and more particularly to a registration table for managing the citation of an editing exit routine for editing data of communication messages during transmission and return between a terminal and a host computer in a terminal control device. Regarding the creation method.

When a terminal control device relays communication messages between multiple terminals and a host combination controller, the communication messages have a wide variety of formats and processing contents depending on the type of terminal and application business, and even for the same message, the terminal The input/output format at the machine and the processing format at the host combination are different.

The terminal control device converts the input format of the transmitted message received from the terminal into the host combination^-fif) processing 7.
After automatically editing it, prepare and send it to the host computer, and then edit the processing format of the reply message received from the host computer into an output format for each terminal, and then send it to the terminal. Prepare and reply to replies.

Differences in the processing content for sending messages received by the terminal control device and preparing a reply can be handled by preparing processing units (hereinafter referred to as package programs) that operate on the terminal control device for each processing content. Editing work to adjust the difference between the input/output format for each machine and the processing format of the home computer is performed by preparing an editing department (hereinafter referred to as the editing exit routine) for each terminal and for each application task, and executing the editing exit routine as described above. This is handled by being called by the package program. The editing exit routine is designed to operate while referring to editing parameters (hereinafter referred to as parameter blocks) that describe the hardware characteristics of the terminal and message configuration information. Therefore, when a package program requests message editing to an edit exit routine, it must specify the edit exit routine type (edit exit routine name or edit exit routine address) and request.

The construction of O8 is performed by system generation. Conventionally,
The above-mentioned editing exit routine and parameter block are also components of O8, and the above-mentioned O8 is based on the original O8 provided by the computer manufacturer, taking into account the equipment configuration and application work of the computer system on which the computer is installed, and the necessary information. O8 is a selective and edited version of the system, and should be rebuilt by system generation each time there is a change in equipment, addition, or system configuration. The preparatory work and procedures from system generation to computer operation will be explained below using diagrams.

Whether or not to call the edit exit routine 210 at the address αt shown in the figure is determined by the registration block 21 in the registration table 21b.
It is based on ON or OFF of the flag section 231 of 0.

Therefore, if there is a power increase installation, change, removal, etc. of the terminal, the flag part 231 (Fig. 5)
will need to be rewritten. However, registration block 23
Writing 0 into the flag section 231 is an operation performed by the system generator (block 1 in FIG. 2), so there is an inconvenience that the system generator 7 must be executed again. Furthermore, system generation is not a problem unless the scale of the hardware system is large enough, and usually a host combination is used for system generation. During the Kustem General Scene work, it is not possible to work in parallel with other work, so if it is done during the day, it is necessary to stop the daily work, so it is usually done late at night after - day's work has been completed. The overload of man-hours during this period becomes a problem.

The object of the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and provides for changing, adding, or deleting the format of the editing output routine and the editing exit routine related to format editing of communication messages from the terminal. The table registration method of the present invention to achieve this purpose is to separate the work of the system generator 1 from the work of the system generator 1 and perform it independently.

The difference between FIG. 6 and FIG. 2 is that the parameter block table 23 is
The output of is transferred to the generation means of block 4, and the initialization means of block 1 is used to place the data transfer table 23 in the main storage medium 300 without going through the work of block τ. In the figure, block 1' is a parameter block.
A large capacity storage medium 20 G is used as a replacement for outputting the table 23.
The instruction information 24 of ' is outputted and notified to the generation means of the pack 4. Block 4 inputs the medium instruction information 24, definition information of the parameter block table 23, and combination data 13 of registration definition information of the edit exit routine;
In addition to outputting the parameter block table 23 to the large-capacity storage medium 200', n RAMs 20 ( For each record that corresponds to the edit exit routine calling unit 201 in FIG. It is added to the parameter block table and output. On the other hand, in work 1' of the system generator 1, no writing is performed to the flag portion 231 (FIG. 3) of the outputted registration table 21.

The next block 2 is the package program 20° registration table 21. Edit exit routine data set 22 is stored at addresses α, β, in main storage medium 300.

This is the work of placing them in each TI (20 to 22 as 201 to 22 kicks) and handing them over to the next block.

At this point, the registration table calling unit 201 (FIG. 3) K locates the address α in the package program 20a at a relative position (β) from the start address β1 of the registration table 21.

+x) is written.

Block γ is the bladder part 231 in the registration table 21a,
In exit routine/factory address entry section 233
．． This is an initialization work in which a predetermined name and address are entered in each of the parameter block name entry section 234 and the parameter block entry address entry section 235,
The registration table in which the names and addresses have been filled in is designated by symbol 21b. The outline of the blocking work is explained below.

The program 1 arranges the parameter block table 23 from address J of the main storage medium 300 to create a puff metablock table 23m (see FIG. 1), and adds it to the puff metablock table 23. The loading management program 2s is stored in the main storage medium 30G at address d1 (7th
(see figure) to make it 25m+. Next, the address α in the package program 20a is called for each of the locations, and then the address d1 for each of the registration management blocks 25- is called.
Check the status of the flag of the position radar 251, and if the flag is "ON", check the address βt of the registration table 211 that has a position correspondence relationship with the registration management block 25.
