Abstract

PURPOSE:To omit the manual operations by using a document data base when the program correlative relation is kept in the form of a document after analysis of the control data retrieving information. CONSTITUTION:The control data retrieving information instructed by a user information input part 102 is analyzed and an open process is carried out between a document data base 101 and an intermediate file. Thus data are successively read. Then an information retrieving/extracting part 103 extracts the information necessary for the program correlative relation. Then the extracted information is registered into an editing part 104. When no data is available any more, the base 101 is closed. Then the occurrence of an error is informed to a user as a warning via an output device 106 as long as the data requested by the user is not available. Thus the intermediate file is kept closed during the working. As a result, a range of influence is specified at correction of a program. Then the manual operations are omitted owing to the use of the base 101.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (Industrial Application Field) The present invention provides management data that collects and registers detailed data communication definition information, detailed application program information, and related information existing between each of the above information. The present invention relates to the application of collection methods, and particularly to a program correlation presentation method for a system that performs processing using a document database generated by a management data collection method.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, a program list obtained by compiling a program can be a fairly effective document when scanning the logic of the program. However, information such as correlations between programs is not clear just by looking at the program list, so information has to be collected and organized manually and kept as a document. Because this process was time-consuming, there were many cases where no documentation was created.

Problems to be Solved by ciBA) The following drawbacks can be cited with respect to the conventional method described above.

First, if a document is not created regarding the correlation information between each program, when you want to know which other programs are referenced by a certain program, you will need to
Easy to find using Gramlist. However, if you want to know what other programs are referencing this program, you won't be able to find out by looking at the program system.
The disadvantage is that it is not easy to know how modifying the program will affect the entire system.

Second, there is a drawback that only the program list can be used to understand only the role of the program and its functions.

Third, even in the case of program modification, partial modification of a document is often more troublesome and time-consuming than partial modification of a program, so even if the program is slightly modified, the program document cannot be modified. However, if even slight modifications are made repeatedly, the program document has the disadvantage that it becomes a specification document that accurately describes the functions of the program.

The ninth aspect of the present invention is to use a document database to record program correlations as documents.
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a program correlation presentation method that eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks and does not require human intervention.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The program correlation presentation method according to the present invention starts a processor that handles each management target, and displays data communication definition detailed information/application program detailed information and related information existing between the above various information. This is a system that performs processing using a document database generated by a management data collection method that collects and registers information, and includes a user information input section, an information search extraction section, an editing section, and an output section. It is configured with the following.

The user information input section is for receiving commands from the user, and the information search and extraction section is for detecting/extracting data from the document database.

The editing section is for inputting the data extracted by the information search and extraction section and editing the correlation between programs.

The output section is for outputting data edited by the editing section.

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

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an embodiment of the program correlation presentation method according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the present invention includes a document database 101 and user information input! 1s 102, an information search extraction section 103, an editing section 104, an output section 105, and an output section 105. 104-c, and □ editing means 104-d.

2nd r! g is a flowchart showing the flow of processing for searching the document database 101 based on the management data information input from the user information input unit 10.2 to the information search extraction unit 103 and extracting necessary management data. .

Referring to FIG. 2, management data search information instructed by the user information input unit 102 is analyzed in step 201. After that, the document database 101 and the work intermediate file are opened, and step 202
Read data sequentially. Next, in step 204, it is determined whether the information is necessary for the program correlation diagram.

If necessary, the above information is registered in the work intermediate file in step 205. The above operation is repeated in step 205 until the data is finished, and when the data is finished, the document database 101 is closed. Furthermore, in step 2, check whether the data is the one requested by the user.
If it is determined in step 06 that the file requested by the user is not available, an error is reported to the user in step 207 and a warning is sent to the user through the output device IO6, and the work intermediate file is closed.

3 to 5 are flowcharts showing the operations of the editing section 104, respectively. Referring to FIG. 1, the editing unit 104 first opens the work intermediate file, extracts data, and registers the data in the element table in correspondence with the referenced data and the referenced data. When the registration of all data is completed, the work intermediate file is closed in step 301.

Next, in step 302, the reference side data, which is the element value of the element table, is rearranged in ascending order, the main routine is searched, and the element table registered as the reference side data by the main routine is searched. The offset is registered in the index table I(X) in step 303. The main routine name searched in step 303 is added to the column value C(i) on the virtual screen in step 304.
), and the low value L(j), and in step 305, the column value C(1) of the virtual screen is set to C(i+x)0.
Next, in step 306, index table I(X
) is registered in the column value C(1) and row value L(j) on the virtual screen. Subsequently, in step 307, it is checked whether or not the same data as the referenced data exists in the referenced side in the element table, and if the data is desired to exist, the process of step 31O is executed. If the data exists on the side being referenced in step 307, the offset of the element table registered as the data on the side to which the data is referred is registered in the index table I(x+1) in step 308, In step 309, it is determined whether or not the referenced data is registered, and if it is registered, the process in step 305 is executed. Step 30
If it is determined in step 9 that the above data is not registered,
The process of step 312 is executed. In step 310, reference is made between the data on the reference side of the offset in the element table pointed to by index table I(x) and the element table at the next offset of the offset in the element table pointed to by index table I(X). If they are the same, in step 313, the value of the index table I(x) is set to the next offset in the subject table pointed to by the index table I(X). Change to the offset of the element table. In step 313, the low value L(j) of the virtual screen is
is set to L(j+1), and the process of step 306 is executed. If the determination in step 310 is negative, step 311
The column value C(i) of the virtual screen is set to C(i-1), and it is determined in step 310 whether the column tc(1) of the virtual screen is 1 or less. If it is determined in step 312 that the number is not less than 1, the process in step 310 is executed.

If it is determined in step 312 that the number is 1 or less, the registration process to the virtual screen ends. When the user information input unit 102 receives a layout editing instruction from the user, the editing process is executed. When this specification is made, the form shown in FIG. 7 is output for the configuration below the duplicate name tag.

(Effect of the invention) As explained above, the present invention has the following effects.

First, since the scope of influence when modifying a program becomes clear, there are no omissions in tests after program modification or functional tests, and it is less likely to make mistakes in modification.

Second, it provides a specification that accurately describes the program, and has the effect of allowing you to always know the latest status.

Thirdly, it is easy to create because it does not require much time and effort.
