Abstract

PURPOSE:To make the maintenance and generation of a program easy and to generate efficiently and automatically a standardized COBOL source program by dividing and constituting a source code and parameter generating part for the COBOL source program. CONSTITUTION:A COBOL source program generating system is constituted by dividing it into a basic pattern generating and maintaining part 1, file section generating and maintaining part 2, picture section generating and maintaining part 3 and a report section generating and maintaining part 4. A basic pattern file 5 which has stored a basic pattern for generating a program is coupled to this each generating and maintaining part 1; and a file section, picture section, and report section files 6-8 are coupled to each generating and maintaining part 2-4, respectively. Subsequently, in a COBOL source program generating part 9, a source program is generated automatically by combining a COBOL source program generating parameter file 10, and the basic pattern and each section from the files 5-6, and it is stored in a COBOL source program file 11.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a 900BOL source program generation method that enables standard automatic generation of COBOL source programs for efficiency and ease of maintenance.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION It is known that actual office processing programs have at most ten basic patterns when classified by processing type such as update and verification. Nevertheless, the development of conventional COBOL source programs has been done entirely by manual programming from the beginning, requiring a great deal of effort and time. Furthermore, even if the program has the same processing, the way it is expressed differs depending on the programmer, so mistakes can occur during program maintenance.
There was also the problem that it was easy to use, and there was a lot of loss of work time.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, to facilitate the creation and maintenance of the program as a whole, and to enable efficient automatic generation of standardized fccOBOL source program μgrams. It is about providing.

Corner Structure The method of the present invention includes a basic pattern storage means for storing basic patterns for creating a COBOL source program, a generation storage means for dividing and storing each section of the COBOL source program, and parameters. The generating means selects a basic pattern from the basic pattern storage means and each clause from the generation storage means to generate a combination source program.

Embodiment of the Invention Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1, one embodiment of the present invention includes a C0BOL source basic pattern creation/maintenance section 1, a file section creation/maintenance section 2, a screen section creation/maintenance section 3, and a report letter creation/maintenance section 4.

It consists of an L source program maintenance section 12.

Before explaining one embodiment of the present invention, the remainder of the COBOL source program will be explained in detail with reference to Figure 1. A C0BOL source program basically has four parts: header part, environment part, data part,
and procedural capital. The heading section identifies the source program written by the user or the translated execution program. That is, write information such as the name of the program, the name of the program creator, and the date the program was written. The environment section consists of two sections: a configuration section and an input/output section.The configuration section describes the physical properties of the computer to be used, and the input/output section describes the relationship between files and input/output devices used in the program. Generally, most parts of a COBOL source program can be written independently of the computer, but the environment section is necessary to write the parts that depend on the computer and input/output device. The data section consists of five sections: a file section, a working location section, a series section, a communication section, and a screen section. The File Section defines the structure of the data file. Each file is defined by a file description entry and one or more record description entries, with the record description entry immediately following the file description entry. The working location section describes records that are processed and expanded internally without being fooled by external data files, and independent data items. The Linkage Section describes data items specified by the called program and referenced by both the calling program and the called program. Its structure is the same as the working location section. The Communications Section describes data items for message management and communication between programs. The Screen Section describes the appearance and conceptual properties of the screen for screen controls.

The procedure section eliminates the procedures required to solve and fc-process data processing problems processed by the user. For this purpose, we will use some instructions provided in C0130L.
A group of instructions are provided for data manipulation, arithmetic, conditions, human output, procedure branching, etc.

Referring to FIG. 2, the C0BOL source basic pattern creation/maintenance section 1 has a C0BOL source pattern structure as shown in FIG.
It creates and maintains the basic patterns of source programs. The basic pattern is the commonly used C0BO
Depending on the processing type, such as updating or verifying the L program,
It is classified into several patterns, and each pattern is a C0BOL source program with the structure shown in Figure 1, and its description is standardized for ease of maintenance.

In addition, each pattern consists of a fixed part that has already been coded and a changeable part that has not yet been created, mainly a file section, screen section, report section, and procedure details, but even just the fixed part , the skeleton of the program has already been formed.

The file section creation/maintenance section 2 creates and maintains file sections of the COBOL source program 2. The screen section creation/maintenance section 3 creates and maintains screen sections of the COBOL program. Report Section Creation - Maintenance Department 4
creates and maintains the report section of the COBOL source program.

The C0BOL source basic pattern file 5 is the C0BO
This is a 7-isle library mask based on the basic pattern of L North Snug Log 2m. 7 isle section file 6 is C
The file section of the 0DOL source program is made into a library and is the following file. Screen section 7 Ai/I/7 is C0D
This file is a library of screen sections of an OL source program. The report section 7 file 8 is a file in which the report section of the COBOL source program is converted into two libraries.

The C0DOL program generator 9 selects the specified C0DOL source code from each of the above files by inputting and maintaining parameters, and generates a C0BOL source program.

C0DOL source program generation parameter file 1
0 is a file in which parameters specified by the COBOL source program generation unit 9 are saved.

The C0BOL source program file 11 is C0BO
The COBOL source program maintenance section 12 is for storing the COBOL source program generated by the L source program generation section 9. The COBOL source program maintenance section 12 is for maintaining the CODOL source program 2 in the COBOL source program file.

The operation will be explained below with reference to FIG.

In advance, the C0DOL source basic pattern creation/maintenance department 1
Create some basic patterns of C0DOL source,
The C0BOL source basic pattern file 51C should exist.

Next, we move on to the program design stage. First, the file section creation/maintenance section 2 designs files and records, and the file section in the C0BOL source format created there is registered in the file section file 6. Next, a screen layout is designed in the screen section creation/maintenance section 3, and the screen section created there in the 900 BOL source format is registered in the screen s file 7.

Then, the report creation/maintenance unit 4 designs the layout of the report to be output, and registers the report section of the C0BOI and source formation created therein in the report section file 8.

After that, the C0BOL source program generation unit 9 determines which C0BOL source codes in the above files are to be combined and how the detailed program flow should be done by inputting the two types of panmeters, and the input parameters are It is saved in the C0BOL North Log 2m generation parameter file 10. Finally, the C0I30L source program generation unit 9 generates the C0DOL source program according to the parameters in the C0DOL source program generation parameter file 10.
A BOL source program is generated and output to the C0BOL source program file 11. Please note that coding of detailed program flows that could not be created using the above steps, and changes and corrections to the completed program will be made by C0.
This is done by the BOL source program maintenance department 12.

Effects of the Invention The present invention has the advantage of dividing and configuring the source code and parameter creation section for creating a C0BOIJ source program, thereby making it easier to maintain the program and to update each source code part and parameters of a previously created program to a new one. It can be easily used for program creation, and as a result, it has the effect of significantly eliminating the number of man-hours required for creating and maintaining a nologogram.
