Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a data record reconstructing edit output system in a computer system for reconstructing a data record and outputting it to an output device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional data records are reconstructed,
In the data record reconstructing process in the computer system for outputting to the output device, a program for reconstructing, editing and outputting is created every time the input record format or the reconstructing format is different.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned conventional data record reconstructing method, it is necessary to change the program every time the reconstructing format at the time of edit output is changed. Therefore, the development of the verification program has a drawback that it takes a lot of man-hours and costs.

[0004]

A first aspect of the present invention reconstructs a record of a data file that stores a record composed of a plurality of specific items and a record composed of a fixed length part and a plurality of variable length items. In the data record reconstruction editing output method in a computer system for outputting to an output device, a reconfiguration designation information file for storing information such as a specific record to be reconfigured, a position and a length of an item to be reconfigured, and the data file Definition information file defining the record format, record length, variable length item composition unit information, etc., and analysis of the reconfiguration specification information file Analysis of the data definition information file and acquisition of information by referring to the data file Of the reconfiguration information acquisition means for performing the reconfiguration information acquisition means and the reconfiguration specification information file analyzed by the reconfiguration information acquisition means. Information for storing information as specific item reconfiguration designation information or multiple variable length item reconfiguration designation information, and a data file information storage region for storing information of the data file obtained by the reconfiguration information acquisition means. And referring to the data file information storage area, retrieving the specific record from the data file, based on the information stored in the reconfiguration designation information storage area, reconfiguration processing in units of specific items or multiple variable length item configuration It is characterized by having a reconfiguration edit output means for performing reconfiguration processing in units and performing edit output on an output device.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of the present invention. A data file 1, a reconfiguration designation information file 2, a data definition information file 3, a reconfiguration information acquisition means 4, a data file information storage area 5, and a reconfiguration designation. The information storage area 6, the reconfiguration / edit output unit 7, the reconfiguration unit 8 for each specific item, the reconfiguration unit 9 for a plurality of variable length item configuration units, and the output device 10.

Next, the operation of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, the reconstruction information acquisition means 4 acquires data file information such as file organization, record format, record length, etc. from the data file 1 and the data definition information file 3, and stores it in the data file information storage area 5. Store. Further, the reconfiguration designation information such as the name of the specific record to be reconfigured, the position and length of the item to be reconfigured is analyzed from the reconfiguration designation report file 2 and stored in the reconfiguration designation information storage area 6.

After the operation of the reconfiguration information acquisition means 4 is completed, the reconfiguration edit output means 7 refers to the data file information storage area 5 based on the reconfiguration designation information stored in the reconfiguration designation information storage area 6. The specific record of the data file 1 is reconstructed by the reconstructing unit 8 of a specific item unit or the reconstructing unit 9 of a plurality of variable length item composition units.

After the operation of the reconfiguration edit output means 7 is completed, it is output to the output device 10.

Next, a detailed description will be given of the reconstructing means 8 of the specific item unit and the reconstructing means 9 of the plural variable length item constitutional units of the reconstructed edit output means 7.

FIG. 2 is a specific example of the result output by the reconfiguring means 8 in units of specific items. Specific item unit reconfiguration designation information 11, pre-reconfiguration record 12 in units of specific items, specific items It is composed of the post-reconstruction record 13 of the unit.

Referring to FIG. 2, the information stored in the reconfiguration designation information storage area 6 is the specific item unit reconfiguration designation information 1
1 is specified, the pre-reconstruction record 12 of the specific item unit is the specific item unit rearrangement designation information 1
According to the instruction of No. 1, the specific items are rearranged in the designated order, a new data record is reconstructed like the post-reconstruction record 13 in the unit of the specific item, and is output to the output device 10.

FIG. 3 shows a reconstructing means 9 in units of plural variable items.
It is a concrete example of the result output by the following: a variable-length item configuration unit reconfiguration designation information 14, a record before reconfiguration of a variable-length item configuration unit 15, a record after reconfiguration of a variable-length item configuration unit. It consists of 16.

Referring to FIG. 3, when the information stored in the reconfiguration designation information storage area 6 is designated as shown in the multiple variable length item configuration unit reconfiguration designation information 14, the multiple variable length item configuration units From the pre-reconstruction record 15, according to the instruction of the multiple variable-length item configuration unit reconfiguration specification information 14, the multiple variable-length item units in the variable-length portion are rearranged in the specified order, and after the multiple variable-length item configuration units are reconfigured Record 16
Reconfigure a new data record like
Output to 0.

[0016]

As described above, according to the present invention, in a computer system that reconstructs records of a data file and outputs the records to an output device, when a form is output, a user wants to output a specific item or a desired item in the data record. By specifying multiple variable length item units, it is possible to output only the items that the user needs and rearrange the items. In this way, by deleting unnecessary portions, it is possible to prevent unnecessary information from being printed out in a large-scale system, and to further facilitate verification work and improve efficiency. In addition, by simply changing the reconfiguration information, it is possible to perform reconfigured edit output in any format without modifying the program, and it is possible to reduce the number of steps for data file verification.
