[0010]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional example, it is necessary to select a processing item by a user after displaying a menu for any of new registration, correction processing, and deletion processing. If an undesired item is erroneously selected at the time of this menu display, it is difficult to return to the menu display until the processing has progressed to a certain extent, so that it is difficult to proceed quickly. Further, when the same KEY exists (new registration) or does not exist (correction processing or deletion processing) for the input KEY item by record search, it is determined by the user whether to return the processing to the beginning or to end the processing. It is up to the user and the burden on the user is large. For example, if an error in selection of the selection processing menu is found after setting data for all items on the item setting screen and the amount of the item setting is enormous, the processing ability and morale of the user may be reduced. I was invited.

Further, as is apparent from FIGS. 7 to 9, even if the processing contents are different, the contents of the flowcharts are basically similar in many cases. However, when different developers are in charge of each process content by multiple developers, if the development is done without unifying the development policy, the language used, the processing structure, the presence or absence of comments,
Deviations arise in variable naming, variable usage, instruction usage, etc., resulting in enormous development time and development costs.

In addition, when a plurality of processing programs are executed by one developer, the structure of the programs is often unified when the maintenance of the processing programs is performed. It can be performed. However, if a plurality of developers are involved, maintenance of a program developed by another person is not easy, it takes an enormous amount of time, and a maintenance error easily occurs.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above problems, the present invention enhances the operability of data entry processing, shortens the creation time of a software system, reduces errors during creation, shortens maintenance time, and reduces errors during maintenance. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a data entry method for a file system that can perform the data entry.

[0014]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, a record search in a storage device is performed on the basis of an input key item, and a search for a record in the input device is performed. Automatically performs a new registration process when there is no key item corresponding to the registered key item in the storage device,
In a data entry method, when a key item matching the input key item exists in the storage device, a correction process or a deletion process for the input key item is automatically executed.

According to this method, it is only necessary to first input a key item, and to perform a new registration process, a correction process, or a deletion process based on a reference result between the key item and the key item in the storage device. It is automatically determined, and thereafter, a desired process is executed only by performing necessary input for the determined process. Therefore, the operability of the data entry process is dramatically improved, and it is possible to reduce the time required to create the software system, reduce errors during creation, reduce maintenance time, reduce errors during maintenance, and the like.

According to a specific configuration for realizing the object of the invention according to the present application, the correction processing or the deletion processing is specified by performing a record search and inputting the input data. When a screen prompting for correction of items other than key items is displayed after it is determined that a key item corresponding to a key item exists in the storage device, or when a screen prompting entry of key items is displayed Data entry method.

According to this method, when the correction / deletion processing is selected, first, a display relating to the correction processing is performed, and the display of the display device prompts the user to input an item other than the KEY item. Then, items other than the KEY item are corrected from the keyboard or the like of the input device in accordance with the display. Therefore, the burden on the user is greatly reduced. In addition, the processing can proceed quickly.

[0018]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing the processing of a data entry method for a file system according to the present invention. It should be noted that the file system shown in FIG.
01 is only the processing program stored in the program. Therefore, description of the file system is omitted below.

As shown in FIG. 1, the process starts (S10).
When 1) is performed, "key item input" is displayed on the display of the display device 402 (S102). In accordance with this display, the user executes the record search of the storage device 404 based on the KEY item from the keyboard or the like of the input device 403 as shown in the display screen 200 of FIG. 2 (S103). If a record identical to the input KEY item is not found by the record search (S104), the process proceeds to the new registration process (S105 to S107). If a record identical to the input KEY item is found, a correction / deletion process is performed. The process proceeds to (S109-S113).

The case where the new registration process is selected in S104 will be described. In the flag setting in S105 (settings other than the flag may be included), control variables for the screen in S106 are set. In the item input / correction in S106, as shown in the display screen 300 in FIG. 3, the input of items other than the KEY item is executed. Based on this input, the control device 401
Writes a record in the storage device 404 (S1
07) Then, the process ends (S108).

On the other hand, the case where the correction / deletion process is selected in S104 will be described. The flag setting in S109 (including setting other than the flag in some cases) includes setting control variables for the screen in S110. In the item input / correction in S110, as shown in the display screen 300 in FIG. 3, the items other than the KEY item are corrected.

Next, the processing shifts to S111, and it is determined whether or not the deletion processing is selected according to the display on the screen 300 of FIG. 3 (S111). If the deletion process has not been selected, the process proceeds to the UPDATE process (S112). The UPDATE process is a process for modifying (or updating) a record in the storage device 404. On the other hand, S1
If delete processing is selected in step 11, delete (delete) processing is executed (S111). The DELETE processing is for performing record deletion processing on the storage device 404. When this deletion processing ends, the processing ends thereafter (S108).

In FIG. 1, S106 (item input / correction) and S106
Although 110 (item input / correction) is described separately, the contents are the same. To do this, the screen 300 shown in FIG. 3 is set in S105 (set flag) and S109 (set flag).
Setting of control variables for performing the control of.

The reason why the flag setting (S105, S109) is added before the item input / correction (S106, S110) is that in many cases in the data entry in the file system, the item input (there is no data input in the past). Items used for item correction (there is data entered in the past) are the same. Even if the items used in item input and item correction are different, flag setting (S10
5, S109), it is possible to absorb by setting the use or not. The operability of data entry processing is improved by standardizing and standardizing the processing of this part,
It is possible to shorten the creation time of the software system, reduce errors during creation, reduce maintenance time, and reduce errors during maintenance.

Conventionally, in a data entry of a file system in a computer system, data is generated at a user's hand, and when operating the data at hand, the user himself or herself judges in advance whether or not the data is in the file system. I had to do it. However, according to the present invention, the system automatically checks whether the data is the same or not, so that erroneous selection or the like as in the related art does not occur.
Thus, according to the present invention, processing can be performed quickly and the burden on the user can be reduced.

[0027]

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

Referring to the flowchart of FIG.
04, the employee file is used.
Two items, "employee number" and "employee name", are used. Also, “Employee number” is set as a KEY item.

First, the new registration process will be described. In this new registration process, the employee number “11111”, which is a KEY item, is input to the display screen 200 from the keyboard of the input device 403 (S102). KEY item "1"
Based on “1111”, the control device 401 starts searching for a record in the storage device 404 (S103) .If there is no record identical to the KEY item “11111” (S1)
04), a new registration process is executed (S105 to S10)
7). In this process, a flag is set so that the screen for inputting and correcting the next processing item becomes the screen for new registration processing (S105). An employee name that is an item other than the KEY item on the screen 300 shown in FIG. 3, for example, “SUZUKI K
EIKO "from the input device 403 (S1
06). A record is written to the storage device 404 based on the input (S107). Thereafter, the processing is all ended (S108).

Next, a specific example of the correction processing will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

The employee number "11112", which is a key item, is input to the display screen 200 via the input device 403 (S102). Based on the KEY item "11112", the control device 401 starts searching for a record in the storage device 404 (S103). If the same record as the KEY item “11112” exists (S104), a correction process is executed (S109 to 112). First, a flag is set or the like so that the screen for inputting and correcting the item of the next processing becomes a screen for the correction processing (S109). Screen 30 shown in FIG.
Employee name other than the KEY item of 0, for example, “Y
The input is performed from the input device 403, such as “AMADA HANAKO.” Based on this input, the storage device 404 is changed from “ITO HANAKO” to “YAMADA HAN”.
AKO "is corrected (S110). Display screen 30
0, no delete process is selected, so the process is UPD
The process proceeds to the ATE process (S112), and the process of correcting the data on the employee name is performed as described above. Thereafter, the processing is all ended (S108).

Next, a specific example of the deletion process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

The employee number “11113”, which is a KEY item, is input to the display screen 200 via the input device 403 (S102). Based on the KEY item "11113", the control device 401 starts searching for a record in the storage device 404 (S103). If the same record as the KEY item “11113” exists (S104), a deletion process is executed (S109, S110, S113). First,
A flag is set so that the screen for item input / correction of the next processing becomes a screen for deletion processing (S109). When the screen 300 shown in FIG. 3 is displayed, a deletion process is designated via the input device 403 (S110). With this designation, the information of the KEY item “11113” in the storage device 404 is deleted (S111). Thereafter, the processing is all ended (S108).

As described above, in the conventional method, seven steps are performed for the selection processing menu, seven steps for the new registration processing, seven steps for the correction processing, and seven steps for the deletion processing, that is, a total of 28 steps. In need. On the other hand, the present invention processes all in 13 steps. As a result, the control method of screen development is standardized, and the creation time can be reduced. In addition, by unifying the processing procedures that have been duplicated in the conventional system, it is possible to shorten the creation time and reduce errors in creation. Furthermore, compared to the conventional technique, it is possible to reduce the time required to create the maintenance work load of the data entry system and reduce errors in creation. On the other hand, for the user, the operability of the data entry process can be improved by standardizing the screen development.

[0035]

As described above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, it is checked whether or not an input key item exists by searching for a record in a storage device. When the key entry does not exist, the new registration process is automatically executed, and when the matching key item exists in the storage device, the correction process or the deletion process for the input key item is automatically executed. The operability is dramatically improved, and it is possible to reduce the time required to create a software system, reduce errors during creation, reduce maintenance time, reduce errors during maintenance, and the like.

In the specification of the correction process or the deletion process, a record search is performed, and items other than the key items after it is determined that a key item matching the input key item exists in the storage device. This is performed at the time when a screen prompting the correction of is displayed or when the screen prompting the input of key items is displayed, so that the burden on the user is greatly reduced. In addition, the processing can proceed quickly.
