JPS62113237A - Control system for composition and edition of message text - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce access to a disk in the composition and editing process of a message and to improve performance by generating an original message in a virtual storage space. CONSTITUTION:The original message given an identification code 4 coincident with an identification code specified by a program 3 is selected by accessing the original sentence storage area 1 in the virtual storage space 2. The selected original message has the 1st fields f(C1), f(P1), f(P2), f(C2), and f(P3). The fields f(C1), and f(C2) include fixed-length message data. A message text 6 includes the 2nd plural fields corresponding to the 1st plural fields one to one.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a system for controlling the collection and collection of message texts output from a computer main body to an operator console, terminal, printer device, or the like.

[Conventional technology]

In the conventional message text assembly method of this building, the original message text is stored in advance on a magnetic disk, and the message data is retrieved from the disk each time the message data is generated (see Japanese Patent Publication No. 1980-19012).

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In the conventional message text assembly and editing control system described above, the performance may deteriorate because the disk device is accessed each time message set M is edited. especially,
In a large-scale dialogue processing system, accesses to only one or a small number of message original texts may be concentrated in the system, which poses a performance problem.

[Failure to solve the problem]

The system of the present invention includes a virtual storage space means provided with a plurality of message originals each having a plurality of first fields assigned a predetermined identification code, and a program means containing instruction information for instructing output of the message. and processing means for executing the program, and first processing means for creating a table having a plurality of messages @i in response to the detection of the indicator H information. and a second processing means for selecting the message original text that corresponds to the identification code included in the instruction information, the plurality of processing means having one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of first fields of the selected message original text. and when the first field in the message original indicates the first output designation, the fixed length message data included in the first field is set in the corresponding second field. When the first field in the message original indicates a second output specification, variable length message data based on the message information in the table specified by the first field is set in the corresponding second field. and a third process of creating a message text.

〔Example〕

The present invention will now be explained in detail with reference to drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1, a system used in an embodiment of the present invention includes a virtual storage area 1 having a plurality of original message texts each assigned a predetermined identification code and having a plurality of first fields. 2 space means, 3 program means including instruction information for instructing the output of a message, and a processing means 5 for executing the program 3. The virtual storage space 2 is realized using known techniques such as a magnetic disk device, a main storage device, and an operating system.

The processing means 5 includes means for detecting instruction information for instructing output of a message during execution of the program 3, and creates a parameter table 4. This table 4 is given an identification code designated by the program 3. This table 4 has a plurality of entries, each entry containing pointers P(P+) to Pn to variable length message data P+-Pn.
(Pn) is set. After creating the table 4, the processing means 5 moves on to creating the message text 6. Masu,
The original message text to which an identification code matching the identification code specified by the program 3 is assigned is selected by accessing the original text storage area in the virtual storage space 2. As shown in FIG. 2, the selected original message has a plurality of first fields f(C+), f(Pt), f(P2), f(Cz) and f<Ps). Fields f(C+) and f(C2) contain fixed length message data. The message text 6 includes a plurality of second fields in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of first fields. Text 6 is created as follows. That is, since the first field f (C) of the selected original message contains message data, this message data C1 is set as the first field of text 6. Since the first field f(px) does not contain message data, the content P(P+) of the first entry in table 4 is referred to, and this pointer P(
Variable length message data P1 specified by PI) is set in the second field of text 6. Similarly, variable length message data P2. Fixed length message data jlC2 and variable length message data P3 are each set. In this way, the desired message text is generated.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the present invention has the advantage that since the message original text is created in a virtual memory space, accesses to the disk during message assembly/editing processing are reduced, and performance can be improved.
