Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a program management information creation method for creating program management information from a stored source file such as a source program for operating a programmable computer.

Currently, programmable computers, called computers, are used in a wide variety of fields, and programs are being developed to meet various needs.

These programs are actually created by people called system engineers who record them on program coding sheets, and punch information into 80-column cards (punch cards) to input this recorded information into a computer. After that, it is stored in a source file and provided to the user. It is generally known that even one user must prepare hundreds of programs for various tasks.

Therefore, at the user's site, something like a list showing what kind of programs are currently available must be created for each source file, and at the program supplier side, the program is It was necessary to create a list of program contents, called source file management information, in order to obtain appropriate prices and evaluate the ability of program developers.

The program management information referred to in the present invention refers to the number of programs, file names, number of program steps, language used in the program, number of program comments, etc.

Conventionally, all of the management information for such programs has been created manually. However, although the file name and the language used in the program are still good, the number of program steps and comments are extremely unreliable because they are created manually.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a new method for creating program management information that eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks. In a program management information creation method for creating program management information including the number of steps, a first counting means for counting the number of steps of the program from the source file, a flag attached only to comment steps among each step of the program; A second counting means is provided to count the number of program comments based on the flag detection signal, and the counted number of program steps and number of program comments are stored and then edited and output. It can be achieved.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a source file according to the present invention. In the figure, 1 indicates a source program.

The figure shows a partial configuration of a magnetic tape, in which a plurality of source programs 1 are stored in this way. This stored source program 1 has a structure as shown in FIG.

That is, excluding control information for storage, the file name 2 of the source file is written at the beginning, and then the actual program 3 is stored for each step.

Next, the number of steps, number of comments, and language will be explained in detail.

The number of steps in one program and the determination of comments written in the program are defined as follows.

Regarding the number of steps in a program, since the actual program after the file name 2 is entered is entered for each step 3, the number of steps in one program can be determined by counting this number of steps.

Furthermore, comments are located within program steps 3, and these comments can be identified by the fact that a special mark is always attached to the first column 3 of each step 3. For example, in the case of FIG. 2, step 3 marked with an * in the first column is a comment.

Therefore, the number of comments can be determined by counting only those marked with * in the first column 3' of each step 3 of the program.

Further, the language used in the program can be determined by the most recent program step after file name 2 is entered. In other words, one condition is 1
Whether specific information is entered in the column,
Also, it can be determined from which column the information is entered.

For example, if it is written from the 1st column, it is Assembler, if it is written from the 5th column, it is Fortran, and if it is written from the 7th column, it is Cobol, etc. Then, the language to be used is determined by determining this information.

Next, an embodiment of the program management information creation method of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

In the figure, 4 is a reading control unit, 5 is a file name reading unit, 6 is a first column reading unit, 7 is a step number counter, 8 is a comparator, 9 is a comment number counter, 10 is a language reading unit, and 11 is a common bus. , 12 is a CPU, 13 is an MEM, and 14 is a printing device.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a read control unit which extracts information for reading the file name, number of comments, number of steps, language, etc. of the present invention from the source program data read from the magnetic tape device.

5 is a file name reading unit, which stores the first file name recorded in the source program;
Send to CPU 12 via common path 11 and MEM1
Store in 3.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a first column reading means, which extracts and reads the first column of each step of the source program.

A comparator 8 detects whether or not a * mark indicating a comment is written in the first column of each step, and upon detecting that the * mark is written, a counter 9 that counts the number of comments is activated. rise.

A step number counter 7 counts the number of steps of each program from the reading control section 4.

Reference numeral 10 denotes language reading means, which performs language determination by referring to the contents of the first step of the program of each step as described above.

These file names, number of comments, number of steps, and language are sent to the CPU 12 via the common bus 11 and stored in the MEM 13.

Figure 4 shows the contents of MEM13. As shown in the figure, 15 file names, 18 languages, 17 steps, and 16 comments are stored for each source file.
For example, 15 file names and 1 step number for each language.
7. The number of comments, 16, is printed by the printing device 14 (shown in FIG. 3). It is also possible to print the total total.

As described above, according to the present invention, program management information such as the file name, number of comments, number of steps, language, etc. of a source program can be edited and output as desired, thereby simplifying program management.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

FIG. 1 is an embodiment of a source file according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is an embodiment of a source program according to the present invention, FIG. 3 is an embodiment of the program management information creation method of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is an embodiment of the source file according to the present invention. respectively indicate the internal storage states of the MEM of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a source program, 2 is a file name, 3 is a program step, 4 is a reading control section, 5 is a file name reading section, 6 is a first column reading means, 7 is a step number counter, 8 is a comparator, 9 is a comment number counter, 10 is a language reading means, 11 is a common bus, 12 is a CPU, 13 is a
MEM and 14 each indicate a printing device.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. In a program management information creation method that creates program management information that includes at least the number of program steps from a source file in which a source program to which comment information is added is stored, a first step that counts the number of steps of the program from the source file. A second counting means is provided for counting the number of program comments based on the flag detection signal, a second counting means for counting the number of program comments based on the flag detection signal, and a second counting means for counting the number of program comments based on the flag detection signal. This method of creating program management information is characterized in that the number of program steps and the number of program comments are memorized and then edited and output.
