Description

Detailed Description of the Invention 3. Detailed Description of the Invention (Technical Field of the Invention) The present invention relates to a simple language input/output data processing PFI device.

(Background of the invention) Recently, with the spread of personal computers, simplified terms have been used to express data processing easily, and data processing using computers has become widespread. ing.

Can you use the conventional Funpyuta? :In order to perform business processing, even though it is a simple language, it is necessary to create a group of table IT-style data input items according to the business content. nall+il
There was a limit.

In other words, work that involves data processing includes accounting work,
There are various things such as sales management, and each of these tasks is different! There is a data format in f-state. Su11
For example, in accounting work, there are withdrawal slips, transfer slips, trial balances, balance sheets, profit and loss statements, etc. Furthermore, in sales management work, there are sales management ledgers, customer ledgers, sales slips, statements of delivery, invoices, etc.

In this way, in actual business, there are many types of vouchers, ledgers, etc. with different data formats, and in order to input these data into the Funpy computer, a display screen that shows the items of these vouchers, ledgers, etc. in a table format is necessary. In this case, the data was entered in the corresponding item.

For this reason, the format of the slips, ledgers, etc. and the tabular display screen displayed on the computer are naturally different, making it extremely inconvenient for data input.

This is due to the fact that the display screen displayed on the computer and the form of the slips, ledgers, etc. are different, and the data input operation efficiency is reduced because items such as slips and ledgers must be found on the display screen and the data entered. Unfortunately, I often entered the wrong items and made input errors.

On the other hand, since the data output from the computer is also stored in a table format, there is a restriction that the data output format can only be output in a fixed format.

In other words, there are various forms of data used in actual business operations, such as slips, trial balances, and sales W invoices, as mentioned above, and the form of data output from computers also varies depending on each slip, ledger, etc. It would be extremely convenient if output could be performed at the same time.

For this reason, it is desired to be able to input and output data by having a computer display or output an input screen or an output screen that is the same as the form of a slip, ledger, or the like on which data is processed.

However, it is difficult for general users to create input/output screens according to the format of slips, ledgers, etc. using the simple language used in the past, so they must ask a computer expert such as a programmer to do so. Ta.

(Purpose of the Invention) The present invention was invented under these circumstances, and its purpose is to enable general users without specialized knowledge of combiators to easily create input screens suitable for forms such as slips and ledgers. To provide an input/output data processing device using a simple language, which can input data in a manner that allows data to be input and output data in accordance with the form of a slip, ledger, etc.

(Summary of the Invention) The present invention displays input screen forming data necessary for configuring an input screen in the same form as a slip, ledger, etc. (hereinafter referred to as an input slip) in which data to be input is written on a display screen. The input screen forming data is stored as a definition table forming the input screen, the input screen based on the definition table is displayed on the display screen, and each item of the input screen displayed on the display screen is The configuration is such that the data of the input slip can be inputted.

Changes to the format of the input screen, etc. can be made using I3 in the definition table for input screen m1.
This is done by changing the data constituting the definition table for the input screen, such as the position of the input item and the item "1 person".

On the other hand, regarding the data output format, a fixed a table for outputting data in the same format as the output slip is provided. The output definition table is also constructed by inputting data constituting the output definition table for each message displayed on the display screen. The data output format is also changed by changing the positions, item names, etc. of the output items that make up the output definition table.
