Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] Regarding a procedure generation processing method when developing a user program using a data processing device, there is a method for selectively generating procedures according to their types.
In a pig processing device having an input device and an output position, and having a function of generating instructions for creating a user program, a procedure generation unit that generates a plurality of types of procedures; a screen opening unit that displays on the 1111 output device a screen for selecting the type of the 11 Goki procedure to be performed; Configure to generate a procedure of the type corresponding to the input.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a procedure generation processing method, and more particularly, to a procedure generation processing method when a user program is developed by a data processing device.

In a simple data processing device, in order to reduce the burden of creating a user program, it is possible to create a single user program through a so-called dialog in which one user inputs predetermined information according to the screen provided by the data processing device. I often do this.

[Conventional technology]

Creating a user program through dialogue is performed by repeating processes such as creating, deleting, moving, copying, etc. of a "procedure" and changing the process of the user program (definition body) in its initial state.

FIGS. 7 and 8 are explanatory diagrams of the conventional technique. FIG. 7 shows a conventional procedure generation process flow, and FIG. 8 shows an example of a screen.

In order to create a user program, in the process the data processing device performs the procedure ([input]
, rear partition) in processing order and selectable (generate) procedures (execute, clear).

...Item procedure 01. ......) is displayed on the screen.

Provide to users.

■ User K who sees this screen 67 specifies procedure generation.

■ The data processing device generates procedures that can be generated all at once, regardless of their types (that is, procedures of multiple types), in order to lighten the burden on the user.

(2) The data processing device provides the generated result to the user as a screen 68 shown in FIG.

Note that in each screen 67 and 68, the left side (■) of the two sides is the part constituting the user program, and its procedures are shown arranged in the order of processing. On the other hand, the right side (■) of the second screen is the part that displays procedures that can be generated (the same applies to Gzo below).

According to the process ■, as shown in 1 screen 68 (by specifying one-time and continuation generation in the procedure list of one item group, ■ the attention procedure "Execute, Clear, End, Cancel",
°■"Item procedure Of, item procedure 02...
Multiple types of procedures with different item procedures are generated.

Thereafter, the user creates five user programs by deleting, moving, copying, etc. the generated name procedure.

5. “Procedure” means one processing unit, ie.

One program or plunger block is composed of, for example, a plurality of instructions. A named procedure has a procedure name such as "execute". There are several types of procedures. Namely, 1. Procedures (fixed procedures) consisting of fixed pronger blocks such as ``input, check before or after input, such as after section j'', and when inputting by looking at a screen such as ``execute, clear, end 5 cancel''. A procedure consisting of a plunger block for attention for function specification (
Attention Procedure), “Item Procedure Of,”
There are types of procedures (item procedures) consisting of plunger blocks for processing one item, such as ".".

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

According to the prior art described above, a group of items 'f-' such as 5 screens 67 is displayed.
If procedure generation is performed with the continuation list displayed, the attention procedure and item procedure will not be generated all at once, as shown in the 9th screen 68.

This is convenient if the user needs both of these two types of procedures, but on the other hand, if the user only needs one of these two types of procedures, then It's inconvenient. In other words, there was a problem in that the user line had to delete unnecessary procedures after generating one procedure.In addition, according to the conventional technology, when a procedure is generated in the input procedure list, an attention Procedures and Item Group Procedures (
Item 1] A set of procedures) are generated all at once, so there is the same problem as described above (v).

On the other hand, in order to avoid the problem described in 5 above, instead of generating two procedures, necessary procedures are created and inserted each time (there is a method, but this results in an extremely large burden on the user).

As described above, conventional programs have not always been able to meet the diverse needs of users, and have placed a heavy burden on users when creating programs.

An object of the present invention is to provide a procedure generation processing method that can selectively generate nine moves and continuations depending on their types. It is a principle block diagram and shows three data processing devices according to the present invention.

In Figure 1, ■ is the definition file and fl is the definition file 1.
2 is a processing fl device, 3 is a program creation processing unit, 31 is a screen opening unit, 32 is a procedure generation unit, 33 is a display unit, 4 is a user program file, 41 is a user program, 5
is an input device, and 6 is an output device.

The data processing device creates a user program 41 through interaction with user 5, and also generates a procedure for creating the user program in this process.

For this purpose, the definition program 11 is stored in the definition program file 1. The definition body 11 is an initial state user program provided by the data processing device to the user, and a plurality of definition bodies 11 are prepared in advance depending on the type of processing. The definition body 11 consists of a plurality of procedures (mainly fixed procedures), and a plurality of procedures that can be generated separately (mainly an attachment procedure and an item (
group) procedures) as definition field information.

The program creation processing section 3 creates a user program 41 based on the 2-definition body 11 (or the previously created user program 41) and input from the input device 5 by the user. For this purpose, the program creation processing unit 3 arranges the procedures in the processing order based on the definition body 11 (or the previously created user program 41), and displays a screen displaying the procedures that can be generated on the output device. 6.

The user program file 4 stores the created program 4. The created user program 41 is used as a resource for creating other user programs, if necessary.

When five procedures are to be generated, the screen creation unit 31 displays a screen (hereinafter referred to as option sort) on the output device 6 for selecting the type of procedure to be generated.
Display (open) on. This type is the definition body 11 being processed.
It is classified into several types in advance.

The procedure generation unit 32 generates a procedure that can be generated in the definition body 11 that is being processed. This generable procedure usually includes multiple types of procedures. Therefore 1
When there is an input based on the option sheet from the input device r1.5, the procedure generation unit 32 generates a procedure of the type corresponding to the input.

[Effect]

The processing device 2 or the program creation processing unit 3 uses the definition body 11
(or the previously created user progera l) are arranged in processing order, and the user is provided with a screen displaying the procedures that can be generated by type.

When the user viewing this screen specifies procedure generation, the one-screen opening unit 31 opens an option sheet on the output device 6. This allows the user to know that two procedures can be selectively created for each type. In addition.

The option sheet is opened in a part of the screen described in +iii.

When the user looking at the option sheet inputs the type of procedure to be generated, the 1-procedure generation unit 32 generates a procedure of the type corresponding to the input.

1311 is also 1. For example, an option sheet is displayed on the screen of 1 item group procedure list! When you generate a procedure using a song,
An Atennoyon procedure and/or a term []hand'fh function is created (or deleted). Also, if you create a procedure with option 1- displayed on the input procedure list screen, an attention manual and/or item group procedure (item child, set of grace) will be generated (or deleted). be done.

Therefore, if 5 users require multiple types of procedures, all of them can be completed by the user. ! If only one of the procedures of type i is required, this M
b One type can be selected and generated based on option sea 1.

Note that the same applies to deletion.

Thereafter, the user creates a user program by deleting, moving, copying, etc. the generated name procedure.

By selectively creating nine procedures according to their types in this way, it is possible to meet the needs of the user and reduce the burden of program creation.

〔Example〕

The data processing apparatus shown in FIG. 1 will be further explained.

An input device 5 such as a keyboard and an output device 6 such as a display are provided for the data processing unit to interact with the user. Processing device 2 or program creation processing section 3
displays an appropriate display on the output device 6 and requests input from the user. The user performs a predetermined input using 1 input 'Aa5.

The program creation processing unit 3 reads out the definition program 11 from the definition program file 1, takes in input from the input device 5, stores the created user program 41 in the user program file 4, and Its readout, etc.
Performs the processing necessary to create a user program.

Note that the definition file l and the user program file 4 may be installed in the same storage device.

In order to create the user program 41, the display unit 33
Various screens are displayed based on the definition program [1]. For example, an input procedure list or item group procedure list screen (as well as arranging procedures in processing order).

A screen in which procedures that can be generated are displayed for each category), and a screen 1 in which procedures generated by the procedure generation unit 32 are added to these screens are displayed.

FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of the procedure.

As described above, the definition body 11 includes all procedures that can be used to create the user program 41 as its definition body information.

These procedures can be sequentially selected in two layers as shown in Figure 1.

The item group procedure consists of an item procedure and an attention procedure, and the one-item procedure and attention procedure consist of a plurality of instructions (instruction group). Fixed procedures such as front partition and back partition consist of a plurality of instructions (instruction group).

Fixed procedures are arranged in advance in the order of processing and are not generated by the procedure generation unit 32.

On the other hand, other procedures are generated by the 1-procedure generation unit 32. Therefore, while screens such as the overall procedure, input procedure list, 9-item group procedure list, etc. are displayed, an option sheet is opened therein, and based on this, the procedure generation unit 32 generates a procedure of the type corresponding to the input. be done.

The user writes the user program in terms of procedures (item procedures and attention procedures) by repeating the process of opening an option sheet and generating a procedure, and then writes the user program by specifying the content of the name procedure in the level of the command group. Complete.

Figure 3 is an explanatory diagram of the option sheet, especially.

5A shows an option sheet 61 opened on the input procedure list screen, and FIG. 5B shows an option sheet 62 opened on the item group procedure list screen.

The screen opening section 31 has a 2-input procedure list screen on the display section 33.
When a procedure generation designation is made from the input device 5 in the state displayed by , an option sort 61 is opened in response to the designation.

Some users who saw this said about the two-item group procedure.
``Add to existing procedure'' is selected, and ``Do not generate'' is selected for the attention procedure, these selections are input (parameters are specified) from the 1 input device 5, and execution is instructed. Upon receiving this, the procedure generation unit 32 generates only one item group procedure. Note that "generation" here also includes "deletion."

In other cases, the option sheet 61 or 6
2, a type of procedure corresponding to the specified parameters is generated.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart of procedure generation processing, and FIG. 5 is an illustration of procedure generation processing. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a screen.

Hereinafter, one procedure generation processing will be explained according to FIG. 4 while referring to FIGS. 5 and 6.

When the user inputs from the input device 5 that the user wants to create a program, the program creation processing section 3 performs the following steps.

The definition body 11 and the previously created user program 41 are displayed on the output device 6.

One definition body 1 is input from one input device 5 by the ill user.
1 or user program 41. For example, "screen definition" is selected.

In response to this, the program creation processing section 3 or the display section 33 sequentially displays screens of "overall procedure" and the like on the output device 6. The program creation processing section creates a new user program based on a predetermined input from the input device 5 performed by the user and the "screen definition body."

During this process, when a certain "item group procedure" is selected on the "input procedure list J" screen.

A screen 64 shown in FIG. 6 is displayed on the display unit 33.

■ The user specifies procedure generation.

■ The screen opening unit 31 displays an option sheet 63 (in this case) in one screen 64 as shown in FIG.

An option sheet 62) shown in FIG. 3(B) is opened.

■ The user based on the option sheet 63.

Specify parameters.

■ The procedure generation unit 32 examines the conditions for generating the item group or item procedure. That is, the item group 7 item procedure generation unit 321 checks what command is specified by the parameter.

■ When the command is "add to existing procedure" The item group/item procedure generation unit 321 generates a generable (yet undefined) item group or item procedure (in this case, an item procedure). 2, the number of newly generated procedures is recorded in a predetermined area of the memory 35.

■ When the command is "delete existing procedure" The item group/item procedure generation unit 321 deletes the already generated (defined) item group or item procedure (in this case, item procedure). A newly generable item group or item procedure (item procedure in this case) is generated, and the number of newly generated procedures is recorded in a predetermined area of the memory 35. Note that in order to perform this deletion, the item group 7 item procedure generation unit 321 that does not have a deletion function uses the deletion function 34.
, which deletes it before creating it.

■ When the command is "Do not generate" The 1-item group/item procedure generation unit 321 does not generate.

That is, one item group or item procedure (in this case, item procedure)
, the state returns to the state before the specification of 1-procedure generation.

(1) First, the procedure generation unit 32 examines conditions for generating an attention procedure. That is, the attention procedure generation unit 322 checks what command is specified by the parameter.

■ If the command is “add to existing procedure”, the attention procedure generation unit 322 generates a generable (yet undefined) attention procedure, and stores the number of newly generated procedures in a predetermined number in the memory 35. Write in the area 1. work.

[Phase] If the command is "U delete existing procedure", the attention procedure generation unit 322 deletes the already generated (defined) attention procedure,
Newly generable Atennoyon procedures are generated, and the number of newly generated procedures is recorded in a predetermined area of the memory 35.

Note that in order to perform this deletion, the automatic procedure generation unit 322, which does not have a deletion function, calls the deletion function 34, thereby performing deletion prior to generation.

■ If the command is "do not generate", the attention procedure generation unit 322 does not generate it.

That is, the attention procedure is returned to the state before the specification of generation of one procedure.

(2) The display unit 33 displays the result of continuous generation in the 1-procedure generation unit 32 as an output value: 6. At this time, the number of procedures in the memory 35 is referenced.

As a result of the above processing, the screen 65 is displayed when only the procedure with five parameters is generated, the screen 66 is displayed when only the attention procedure is generated, and the screen 68 shown in FIG. 8 is displayed when both procedures are generated. If neither is generated, a screen 64 is obtained respectively.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, one procedure can be selectively generated depending on its type by opening an option sheet in the procedure generation process when developing a user program using a data processing device. Therefore, it is possible to respond to the diverse needs of users, and it is possible to reduce the burden on users when creating programs.
