JPS61145630A - Pattern editing method of console display - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the job efficiency by utilizing a divided pattern of a console display device to edit directly a record of a disc file from the pattern thereby eliminating the need for preparation of data edition. CONSTITUTION:A console display pattern is divided into a message output area, a data edition area 1 and a command input/message response area. In making no data pattern edition, the area 1 is used as a message output area, and when the start of pattern edition of data is commanded to the operating system (OS)2 by a command, the OS2 divides the message output area to generate the area 1. Based on the information inputted from the area 1, the OS2 applies edit processing the content of data file stored in a magnetic disc device via an intermediate job area WORKA3.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to the functions of an operating system, which is the basic software of a computer, and is particularly suitable for editing a small amount of data in a disk file quickly and labor-savingly. Regarding electronic computer software technology.

[Background of the invention]

Conventionally, when directly editing data in a disk file, it has been done through online processing from a terminal device connected via a line or the like.

However, in this case, a terminal device was required and an operating environment for online processing had to be set. Furthermore, if no terminal is connected, data must be edited using batch processing.

Incidentally, related functions of this type include, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 15771/1983.

[Purpose of the invention]

An object of the present invention is to provide a new data editing function as a function of the operating system in addition to the conventional message input/output function by dividing the screen of a console display device in a computer system.

[Summary of the invention]

In the 11-child computer system, when a disk file is conventionally edited by a computer, batch processing of an editing program or online editing processing from a terminal device is performed. Therefore, it was necessary to prepare for batch execution and set up the online environment.

Therefore, the present invention makes it possible to directly edit data from the screen of a console display device, in order to eliminate the need for the preparation work for data editing that was conventionally required.

[Embodiments of the invention]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 1 shows the processing configuration of the present invention, and the console display screen includes a message output area, a data editing area, and a command/message response area. Divided into areas. When data is not edited on the screen, the data editing area is used as the message output area, but when the O8 is commanded to start editing the data on the screen, the O8 divides the message output area and creates a data editing area. .

Based on the information input from this data editing area, O8 edits the contents of the data file recorded in the magnetic disk device via the intermediate work area WORKA.Here, the flowchart shown in FIG. Let's refer to it and explain its operation. When the screen editing start command 8[)IT is input from the console display, O8 divides the message output area of the console display screen to generate a data editing area. Furthermore, an intermediate work area W-ORK& for data editing work is secured on the virtual storage device, and the polygon serial number VAN, data file name DFN, and data file member of the magnetic disk where the data to be edited exists is stored. name MBN and device symbolic name UNIT
in the data compilation area of the console display. When IIIF information of V8N, DFN, MBN, and UNIT is input from the data editing area, O8 searches for the corresponding data and saves its contents to the previously secured WORKA, and also displays it in the data editing area of the console display. indicate. If all the data records of a file cannot be displayed within the number of lines in the data editing area, only the number of digits in the data editing area are displayed starting from the first record of the file, and the remaining display is repeated by scrolling instructions. Furthermore, if the data records of the file cannot be displayed within the number of columns of the data editing area, the data records are displayed starting from the first column, and the rest are displayed by left/right movement instructions.

The contents of the data record are displayed in the data editing area, and when editing the contents, the displayed contents are changed by positioning the cursor at the relevant position. O8 saves the contents of the changed data record to WORKA, and always holds the latest record information in WORKA.

When the data screen editing is completed and the screen editing end command [DIT is input, O8
saves the contents of WORKA to a file on the corresponding magnetic disk. Also, when the backup process is finished, WORK A
disappears, and the ≠-ta editing area on the console display disappears, and the console display returns to the original screen.

According to this embodiment, not only can messages be input and output using one console display (data can be edited on the screen, the console display device can be used effectively,
Additionally, data editing work can be done quickly and with a small-scale configuration.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, records of a disk file can be edited directly from the display screen using the split screen of the console display device as a basic function of the operating system. There is no need for settings, etc., and it has the effect of improving work efficiency. Furthermore, not only message input/output but also data editing can be performed with one console display device, resulting in economical effects due to effective use of the device.
