Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] Regarding the dynamic editing system 1n method that dynamically edits and outputs forms that depend on input data, this invention dynamically edits data for form overlays that depend on input data. A frame information creation processing unit that analyzes each item of input data to create frame information, and a frame information creation processing unit that creates frame information by analyzing each item of input data and prints out the desired form. , an item name embedding processing unit that embeds the item name of the input data in the corresponding position, and the form includes frame information, the embedded item name, and emphasis information embedded in the corresponding item name corresponding to the instruction. Create overlay data and configure it to output the desired form based on this created data. [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a dynamic editing control method for a form output format that dynamically edits and outputs a form that depends on input data. [Prior art and problems to be solved by the invention] Conventionally, when printing data on a form, the data is printed at a predetermined position on a sheet of paper on which the frame of the form is preprinted, as shown in Figure 3 (a). Or, using a printer device with a form overlay function, data can be set and printed within a frame defined by a form overlay, as shown in Figure 3 (portion). However, all of these forms are in a fixed format and can only be printed in the format created in advance, so if the input data length is long, it may extend outside the frame, and the printout will depend on the input data length etc. There was a problem that it could not be printed. The purpose of the uninvented system is to dynamically edit and create data for form overlays that depend on input data, and print out desired forms. [Means for solving the problem] The means for solving the problem will be explained with reference to Figure 1. In FIG. 1, a frame information creation processing section 2 analyzes each item of input data to create frame information. The item name embedding processing unit 4 embeds item names and the like of the input data into the frame information created by the frame information axis creation processing unit 2 at appropriate positions.

The editing processing unit 7 analyzes the input editing information, embeds emphasis information, etc. in the corresponding item name, and stores the embedded emphasis information,
This is used to edit form overlay data consisting of frame information and embedded item names. [Operation] As shown in FIG. 1, in the present invention, the frame information creation processing unit 2 analyzes each item of input data to create frame information, and the item name embedding processing unit 4 In the frame information created by , the item name of the input data is embedded in the corresponding position, and the editing processing unit 7 analyzes the input editing information as necessary and emphasizing information is embedded in the corresponding item name. The form overlay data is edited, including frame information and embedded item names, and the form is output (printed) based on this edited form overlay. Therefore, it is possible to create form overlay data that is dynamically edited depending on input data, and print a desired form based on this data. [Embodiment] Next, the configuration and operation of an embodiment of the present invention will be explained in detail using FIGS. 1 and 2. In FIG. 1, input records 1-a and lb are input data,
This is an input record in the format of an inventory mask and a format of a shipping mask. Dynamic editing process 1 for form output format uses input records 1-a and 1-b as input, dynamically edits the form output format to create form overlay data, and creates overlay data based on this data. The output forms 9-a and 9-b are printed using a plink device with a function. The frame information creation processing unit 2 inputs records la, 1-b.
Analyze the hierarchical structure and item length of each item, and create frame information 3- as shown on the left or right side for form overlay.
a, 3-b are created. The item name embedding processing unit 4 sets the record names of input records 1-a and 1-b and information on each item name in the frame information '1Q3-a, 3-b of the created form OHALEI, and Alternatively, basic record layouts 5-a and 5-b as shown on the right are created. The editing information 6 is information for editing the record layouts 5-a and 5-b, and includes, for example, "group conditions" in the figure.
As shown in , this is editing information such as ``If the data item is in Japanese (N), add a :1 mark and change the item name to Gothic font.'' The editing processing section 7 inputs editing information, performs editing processing on the created form overlay data, and creates record layouts 8-a and B-b as shown on the left or right side.

Output forms 9-a and 9-b have record layout}8-a
, a-b are printed using a printer device with a form overlay function. By the above processing,
Input records 1-a and 1-b are input, the hierarchical structure and item length of each item are analyzed to create frame information 3-a and 3-b for form overlay, and then record names are assigned to these. , item names, etc., and further edit information such as ropes as necessary to create record layouts 8-a and 8-b for form overlay, and then output form 9 using a printer device with form overlay function. −
I am trying to print a and 9-b. This makes it possible to dynamically print a desired form that corresponds to the data length and item arrangement depending on the input data. Figure 2 shows an example of horizontal editing of a record layout.
This is compared to the case where the vertical frame information 3-a13-b in Figure 1 is created, the record name, item name, and further editing information are embedded in it and the form is printed, whereas the horizontal frame information is created. This is what happens when you embed the record name, item name, and editing information in this and print the form. In this way, after creating the frame information in a vertical or horizontal format, input data items may be embedded as described above to create a form in any format. [Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, frame information is created by analyzing the hierarchical structure, item length, etc. of input data, items of the input data are embedded in this, and further information is added as necessary. The system uses a configuration in which data for form overlay is created by embedding editing information, and the desired form is printed based on this data using a printer device with a form overlay function, so there is no hierarchical structure that depends on the input data. , data length, etc. can be dynamically compiled and printed.
