Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] The purpose of this invention is to display a procedure targeted for editing on a screen after editing regarding a screen display processing method when a processing program is created by a data processing device. A mode in which a mode for displaying the screen is set in accordance with input from an input device in a data processing device comprising a program creation processing unit that creates a processing program and a display processing unit that displays a screen on an output device. a setting section, a position setting section that sets the position of the screen according to the mode, a screen buffer that stores information about the procedure to be displayed on the screen, and information stored in the screen buffer according to the position of the screen. a display section that displays a predetermined portion of the screen as the screen, the program creation processing section edits the procedure, and then according to the position of the screen set prior to the editing.

The display unit is configured to display the screen.

(Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a screen display processing method, and more particularly to a screen display processing method when a processing program is created by a data processing device.

In order to reduce the burden of creating a processing program in a simple data processing device, the user can create a processing program through a so-called dialog in which the user inputs prescribed information according to the screen provided by the data processing device. It is often done.

[Prior art] Creating a processing program through dialogue involves repeating processes (editing) such as creating, deleting, modifying, moving, and copying "procedures" to change the processing of the initial state of the processing program (definition body). This is done by this.

FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram of the prior art, showing an example of a conventional screen display.

In order to create a processing program, in the process, the data processing device creates a definition body 1 in which one procedure "Edit O1", "Edit 02", and "Distribution 03" are arranged in processing order as shown in FIG.
11 to the users.

Based on this definition body 111, the user can perform one procedure 1
For example, editing of "consolidation table 05" in "distribution 03" is specified.

Upon receiving this, the data processing device provides the user with a screen (not shown) for editing "concatenation table 05".

For example, the user modifies one procedure [distribution 03] by modifying the "concatenation table 05" to the "output table 01J". As a result, the definition field 112 is obtained.

Thereafter, the user creates a processing program by repeatedly editing, modifying, deleting, moving, copying, etc. each year's continuation.

Note that "one procedure" means one processing unit, that is.

Refers to one program or procedure block.

For example, it consists of multiple instructions.

By the way, in the process of creating such a processing program, in order to display the entire definition bodies 111 and 112 on the screen to the user, a screen with a size of, for example, 7 lines and 29 digits is required. However, the actual screen size is smaller than this, for example, 25 lines and 14 digits.

Therefore, the user should select [In order to specify the consolidation table 05J,
After displaying a screen 1 including "concatenation table 05", for example, a screen 65 shown in FIG. 1, the user positions the cursor and makes the relevant designation. Note that in FIG. 1, the shaded area indicates that it is not displayed on the screen. If this designation is made, one screen will be used as a procedure screen for editing "concatenation table 05".

One screen after this editing is completed is a screen 1, for example, a screen 66 shown in FIG. 1, which displays the definition body (new definition body 112) for editing the procedure again.

Which part of the definition body 112 is displayed on the screen 66 after editing is determined by the screen 65 before one edit. That is, the display starts from the next line and first digit of the screen 65 before one edit (in this case, the third line and the first digit).

Note that the 5 definition fields 111 and 112 are specified areas of one screen buffer (memory) (areas of 7 lines and 29 digits).
It is expanded and stored in the form shown above. Therefore, the 0 screens 65 and 66 can be obtained by setting the position in the 7 screen buffer as the screen position and reading the information in a predetermined area.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

According to the above-mentioned conventional technology, "concatenation table 05" is displayed on the screen 65 before 9 editing, but "output table 01" obtained by correcting this is displayed on the screen after 1 editing. i.e., the procedure or part of the procedure that has been subject to editing such as correction (hereinafter referred to as

There was a problem in which the files (simply referred to as procedures) were not displayed on the screen after editing. Also 5 for this reason.

There was a problem in that the user had to scroll the screen when checking the editing results. - The present invention makes it possible to display the procedures targeted for the kIA collection on the screen after editing. The purpose of this invention is to provide a screen display processing method based on the following.
