JPH0477960A - Control system for slip generation system - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To generate a complicated and free slip by means of simple designation without permitting a user to generate program logic by giving plural buffers to a slip generation system. CONSTITUTION:An input record assembly/development part 1 develops a record in accordance with a designated development record system, and transfers it to a record buffer 2. A data editing part 3 edits data from the record buffer 2 to a page buffer 4 in accordance with a designated slip system. Edited data is outputted from the page buffer 4 by a page output part 5 in a stage where a page overflow is generated. Thus, the slip of complicated and free arrangement can be generated with simple designation.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a control method for a form creation system, and more particularly to a control method for a form creation system having a record buffer and a page buffer.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, this type of form creation system has a -line buffer, and therefore has only one input file format.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The conventional form creation system described above has a buffer for only one line, so it is not possible to freely arrange items on one page of a form or within one page of a form. There wasn't.

For example, there is a constraint in the form creation system that items belonging to the first input record cannot be output after items belonging to the second or third input record. The disadvantage of this method is that it is not possible to freely arrange items within one page of a form.

In addition, the only way to freely arrange items within a single page of a form is to assemble the output logic using programming means, and it is possible to create complex and freely arranged forms with simple specifications. There wasn't.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides a control method for a form creation system that includes an input record assembly and expansion section, a record huffer, a data editing section, a page buffer, and a page output section. This feature is characterized in that the section allows input in multiple record formats.

[Example code] Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 6 shows an embodiment of a form creation system to which the present invention is applied. The user specifies the input record format, form layout, control items, and summary items in the form of parameters. The generator inputs these parameters and outputs a COBOL source program incorporating the control method of the present invention. The execution program outputs a form in the specified format from the input data via the translation link.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. The input record assembly/expansion section 1 expands the record according to the designated expanded record format and passes it to the record huffer 2. The data editing section 3 edits the record buffer 2 into the page buffer 4 according to the specified form format. The edited data is outputted from the page buffer 4 by the page output unit 5 at the stage when a page overflow occurs.

FIG. 2 shows an example of record development by the input record assembly and development section. Input records are input one by one, but they are accumulated in the record huffer until a record of the same format is input.
When records of the same format are input, the expanded records are passed to the data editing department.

21 indicates an input record, and 22 indicates an expansion record.

FIG. 3 shows the processing logic of the input record assembly and expansion section. Clear the record huffer in step 31, clear the record input flag in step 32, input the record in step 33, turn on the record input flag in step 34, determine whether the same type of record has been input in step 35, and if so, edit the data. If not, return to step 33.

FIG. 4 shows the processing logic of the data editing section 3.

The data editing section compares the previous expansion record with the current expansion record, and if there is a change in the control item, it writes a control footing according to the control level.

Edit the control heading into page buffer 4. At this stage, the information is only edited in the page buffer and is not actually output to the form.

FIG. 5 shows the processing logic of the page output section.

When the page buffer overflows, if a page footing and a page header are specified, the page footing and page header are edited in the page buffer and then the page is output.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the present invention provides a form creation system with multiple buffers, allowing the user to create complex and free forms by simple specification without creating program logic. This effect is achieved.

The present invention has the effect that complex types of record formats can be input by having a record huffer and an input record assembly/expansion section.

As described above, the present invention has the effect of significantly reducing the number of man-hours required for a form creation program.
