JPH0243658A - Batch job starting system from on-line program - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate an operation and to decrease an operation error by having a batch job name to be started as a master file separately from an on-line program. CONSTITUTION:The title system has a master file 4 in which a batch job identification number and a job and a parameter corresponding to the batch job identification number are registered. When the batch job identification number and the batch job name are started in the master file 4 from a visible display device 1 using the program of a registering and correcting means 2, a menu picture is accessed to the visible display device 1, and the job number is inputted. The inputted job number is passed to the program of a retrieving and starting means 3, the master file 4 is retrieved with the inputted job number and an identification name corresponding to the menu picture as keys, and the job is started based on the batch job name to be started. When a registered batch job program name, etc., are to be changed, the record of the master file 4 is corrected from the visible display device 1 using the program of the registering and correcting means 2. Thus, the operation can be facilitated, and the operation error can be decreased.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a method for starting a batch job from an online program.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in this type of startup method, a job name is specified using a function of a computer system and startup is performed manually by a human, but this also causes operational errors due to input errors.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the conventional method described above, each time the startup member name is changed or added, the member name of the table in the online program must be modified or added, the part of the program that searches the table must be modified, and the program must be compiled. Must be. Furthermore, if the batch job is started from multiple online programs, it is necessary to modify and compile the same number of programs, which is a disadvantage in that it requires a great deal of effort and time.

Also, when using the standard functions of the computer system, -dan,
Since it is necessary to call the description of the batch job to be started on the visual display device and then start it, the operation is complicated and there is a high possibility of making an operational error.

[Means to solve the problem]

The method of starting a batch job from an online program according to the present invention refers to a master file by the batch job identification number to be started, and searches and executes the batch job to be started.
The method includes a starting means, a storage means for storing the batch job identification number and the batch job name corresponding thereto, and a registration/correction means for registering or correcting at least the batch job identification number and the batch job name. It consists of

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention.

The outline of the present invention is that an online program has a table of startup member names, and when a startup request is received from a visual display device, the table is searched to start a job, and the job can be smoothly executed within a computer system. This is what activates it.

As shown in FIG. 1, this embodiment includes a visual display device 1, a registration/correction means 2, a search/start means 3, and a master file 4 in which batch job identification numbers and corresponding jobs and parameters are registered. It consists of

First, when you want to start the batch job identification number and the corresponding batch job name etc. in the master file 4 using the program of the registration/modification means 2 from the visual display device, call the menu screen on the visual display device 1, and Enter the number. The input job number is passed to the program of the search/start means 3. The program of the search/start means 3 searches the master file 4 using the input job number and the identification name corresponding to the menu drawing as keys.
Get the name of the batch job to be started from the corresponding record and start the job based on that name. If the startup is successful, a message notifying the normal end is displayed on the visual display device, and if there is some kind of error such as no corresponding record in the master file 4, a message notifying the fact is displayed on the visual display device.

If it becomes necessary to change the name of a registered batch job program, etc., it is only necessary to modify the record of the master file using the program of the registration/modification means 2 from the visual display device 1.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the present invention has the effect that maintenance during system operation can be easily performed by having the batch job name to be started as a master file separated from the online program. In addition, since the user only needs to input the number from the menu screen, the operation is easy and there are fewer errors.

Claims (1)

[Claims] a search/start means for starting a batch job by referring to a master file based on a batch job identification number to be started; a storage means for storing the batch job identification number and a batch job name corresponding thereto; A method for starting a batch job from an online program, comprising: registration/modification means for registering or modifying a batch job identification number and the batch job name.
