When this data is online, it is transmitted via the line 160 and sent to the host converter, and the host processing 4fA bundle is returned through the line 160, completing one transaction.

In this case, although online is shown as an example, in offline processing no return data is sent from the line 160, so only the contents of the key manual data buffer 104 are input to the one-case processing control unit 102. -Processing control unit 102
is input and transaction completion data is temporarily held in buffer 10.
1 and the electronic journal buffer 120.

The temporary hold buffer 101 is from the latest transaction nth to n-x+
1 in the buffer that stores a certain number of 1 items in the 1st item 1
When processing is completed and written to the temporary pending buffer 101, the buffer is scrolled and the oldest n-x file on the buffer is
The one-item processing control unit 102 performs l1ll instruction so that the -nth item is deleted and the latest data is stored. Therefore, the temporary hold buffer 101 always stores the processed data from the latest processed data to the Xth work.

Although the electronic journal buffer 1tO is represented by a magnetic disk in FIG. 1, it can also be written on a floppy disk or the like; The electronic journal buffer ILO has a predetermined unit name on the magnetic disk, a file name, and a key item (a key item that will be searched later when reading the electronic journal) on one record, and each item of processed data is indexed. Write to the sequential file. This contains processing data from the start of a transaction to the latest transaction. The start of trading can be freely determined by the system, such as the start of a day or the start of a week, depending on the capacity of the magnetic disk to be stored.

Each processed data processed in this way is then
The read process will be explained with reference to the drawings.
