X1 Yield λ Proof First, the data setting operation for the transfer destination table 15 will be explained with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the operation when setting the number of FDDs 4 connected to this data transmission system.

If you have added FDD4, use the mode selector switch M.
Switch S to the "setting" position to set the setting mode.

In this setting mode, FDDtJ? i? 1a
After that, when you operate a predetermined key, the flow shown in Figure 2 starts, and first, the number of connected devices entered is transferred to the destination table 1.
After being set in the number of connected devices storage unit Ml of No. 5, the FDD
The contents of the number setting section M3 are cleared (step S1
．． S2), therefore, initialization processing is executed to set the number of connected FDDs and to clear all the contents of the FDD number setting fIIM3.

After setting the new number of connected units in this way due to the addition of FDDs, etc., set the data for the FDD number setting section M3. That is, in the setting mode, input the classification designation code by operating the alphabet keys, Next, enter the FDD number in which the total sales data for each category is to be stored, and finally operate the key to enter the FDD number.

Then, the flow shown in FIG. 3 starts to be executed, and the input classification designation code and FDD number are displayed on the display unit 16 (step 5ll), and then the next step 512
The content of the number of connected devices memory iM1 is compared with the FDD number that has just been set, and if the FDD number that has been set is larger than the set number of connected devices, an error process (step, 513) is performed, but if the manual input is performed correctly, this is detected in step 312 and the process proceeds to step SL4.
The area of the classification designation code storage unit M2 corresponding to the manually entered classification designation code is searched, and when the corresponding classification designation code is retrieved, the FDD corresponding to the classification designation code is searched in the next step S15. Nan Hassetsu M3
'IL8I data (FDD number) is set in the area. Then, the manually-written classification designation code is printed on the FDD number. In this way, by sequentially setting the FDD number in the F[)D number setting section M3 corresponding to each classification designation code, the classification designation codes "A" to
A transfer destination table is created that indicates the transfer destination of the separate sales total data for each category corresponding to "Z".

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the payment operation at the mask side ECRl. In this case, in order to make payments for all categories, a designated key, such as the cash/Kt key, is operated in the payment mode. Further, in order to perform individual payment, the user operates a classification key such as FLU, which performs individual payment. by this,:
jL, execution of the flow shown in Figure 4 is started. First, specify the settlement for the own mask side ECR1 (step 52
1).

Then, the designated court by classification corresponding to the division for which payment is to be made is retrieved from the designated court by classification storage unit M2 (step 522), and the designated court by classification corresponding to the designated court by classification that has been searched is searched for in the designated court by classification M3. Set FDD from area
Read the number and select the FD specified by this FDD number 8.
Activate the read operation of the D4 and import the collected sales data by category from the FDD 4 (step 323).
A cumulative totaling process (step 524) is executed to add up the total sales data of the category read from 14. The collected sales data by category accumulated in this way is transferred to the original FD corresponding to the category by referring to the contents of the transfer destination table 15.
The process is transferred to D4 (step 325), and in the next step S26, it is checked whether the data collection process has been completed for all the specified categories. If it has not been completed, the process returns to step S22 and the next The same processing as in the L statement is performed on the classification.

When data collection for the mask side ECR1 is completed, the process proceeds to the next step S27, and all slave tll
It is determined whether the data collection process similar to that described in L has been completed for the EcR3.Since the data collection process for the slave side ECR3 has not yet started, the process advances to the first step 528.

Increment processing is performed to increment the manno number in the a./ register by 1. With this, the manno number rlJ
The slave ECR 3 corresponding to the designated terminal is designated and requests the terminal to transmit the total sales data of the designated category (Step 2 529), and checks whether the data has been transmitted from the designated terminal (Step 529). 530), if no data is transmitted, the process returns to step S29 and waits until the data is transmitted. When data transmission is confirmed, data is collected for the slave ECR 3 in the same manner as described in step 322. In this case, the classification of the total data transmitted from the slave ECR 3 is determined, and the classification is performed. By searching the FDD number setting section M3 for the setting FDD number corresponding to the FDD 4, data is exchanged with that FDD 4, and the FDD
Accumulate the collected sales data by category recorded in . Once data collection is completed for all terminals in this way,
Exit from this flow (step 527).

In this way, in this embodiment, even if the number of FDDs 4 connected to the data transmission system increases or decreases by one, the transfer destination table 15 is updated according to the designated code by classification as the number of FDDs 4 increases or decreases. If you set the FDD number, each FDD4 will have 9! according to the setting condition. Separate classification data will be collected.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained in detail above, the present invention includes a designated data storage stage for designating which data is to be transferred to one of a plurality of data recording devices connected to a data transmission system;
Since this specified data storage means is provided with 6 + + f constant r stages for storing the specified data for specifying the data storage device, even if a new FDD is added to the data transmission system. This has the effect of effectively utilizing each FDD, including the FDD with +iQ\H, without changing 411.
