In the determination processing of step S102, since the succession flag of the slip format file corresponding to the item "affiliation name" is determined to be "1", the CPU 11 extracts the previous data of "affiliation name" from the slip data file. Inheritance BOX1 that reads and inherits, and corresponds to "affiliation name"
4b is displayed as a black square (step S103). The slip input screen displayed on the display device 14 is as shown in FIG.

In the determination process of step S105, it is determined that the input item has moved to another item "business name", and the process returns to step S102. In the determination process of step S102, the slip format corresponding to the item "affiliation name". Since the inheritance flag of the file is determined to be "0", the user uses the input device 12 to input "Iidabashi office" (step S104), and similarly, the items "qualification name" and "name" The data corresponding to "" and "overtime allowance" are also input device 1
Enter using 2. The slip input screen displayed on the display device 14 is as shown in FIG.

After all of the necessary input item data are input or inherited, the CPU 11 stores the previous data inherited by each item of the slip or the data input by the user in the slip data file storage unit 13b in the RAM 13. It is stored in the stored slip data file (step S106).

In step S107, the user does not click any inherited BOX 14b with the mouse attached to the input device 12, and in the determination processing of step S108, it is determined that the data input to the slip is completed, and the CPU 11 The form data input process ends.

According to the first embodiment, the inheritance box used when deciding whether or not to inherit the previous data.
Is set and the inheritance box is clicked to decide whether or not to inherit the data. Then, the inheritance flag is turned on (“1”) for the clicked item of the inheritance box, that is, the item for which the data is to be inherited, and the inheritance flag is turned on when data is input to a form such as a slip. For the item, the previous data is inherited without inputting the data. Therefore, it is possible to avoid duplicate input of the same data and reduce the input work.

FIG. 15 is a diagram for explaining an example of the slip format file according to the third embodiment.

This slip format file includes item names, data types, display widths, inheritance boxes, inheritance flags, inheritance start positions,
It is a file whose inheritance end position corresponds. Note that the item name, data type, display width, inheritance box, and inheritance flag are the same as those described in the first embodiment, so details will be omitted.

The inheritance start position is information indicating the position of data at which inheritance starts. For example, if the inheritance part of the data of "General Affairs Department General Affairs Division" is "General Affairs Department", it is "1" and the inheritance part. If is "General Affairs Division", it is "4". The inheritance end position is information indicating the position of the data at which inheritance ends. For example, if the inheritance part of the data of "General Affairs Department General Affairs Division" is "General Affairs Department", it is "3", and the inheritance part is "General Affairs Department". Section "
In the case of, it becomes "6".

FIG. 16 is a diagram for explaining an example of the slip input screen in the third embodiment. In this figure, the highlighted part "General Affairs Department" of the data display area 14a is the part that inherits to the next slip.

The form data input processing of the CPU 11 in the third embodiment is as follows. CP
U11 is a slip format file storage unit 13 in the RAM 13.
A slip input screen is displayed on the display screen of the display device 14 based on the slip format file stored in a.

Further, the CPU 11 sequentially performs the following processing for each item (for example, affiliation name, business office name, etc.) in the slip input screen displayed on the display device 14 by the above processing.

The CPU 11 determines whether or not the inheritance flag of the slip format file corresponding to the input item for inputting data is on, that is, whether or not the value of the inheritance flag is "1".

When the inheritance flag is "1", the CPU 11
Reads the data immediately before (the previous time) the item for which the inheritance flag is ON from the slip data file stored in the slip data file storage section 13b in the RAM 13, and determines the inheritance start position and inheritance end position of the slip format file. The succeeding part of the read data is specified, the data of the specified succeeding part is displayed in the corresponding data display area 14a in the slip input screen, and the inherited BOX 14b in the corresponding slip input screen is set as a black square. indicate. After this,

The CPU 11 displays the input data by the user in the data display area 14a in the slip input screen displayed on the display device 14 based on the key depression signal input from the input device 12.

After the data for each item is input by the above processing, the partially inherited previous data and the input value of the remaining part, or the input values of all the data are stored in the slip data file storage section 13b in the RAM 13. Store it in the existing slip data file.

In the case where the user selects which of the data of the current slip should be inherited or cancels the inheritance by clicking the inheritance BOX 14b by using the mouse provided in the input device 12, Further, the inheritance portion is designated and input by further moving the mouse while dragging the display data in the data display area 14a. However, the CPU 11 selects which of the display data is input based on the position signal input from the input device 12. It is determined whether the inheritance box 14a has been clicked. Then, the CPU 11 changes the inheritance flag of the slip format file corresponding to the inherited BOX 14b determined to have been clicked from "1" to "0" or "0" to "1", and also in the slip input screen. The corresponding inherited box 14b is displayed in reverse (black square to black frame, black frame to black square). Furthermore, CPU
11 stores the inheritance start position and the inheritance end position in the designated position memory 13d of the RAM 13, then stores the inheritance start position in the chit format file inheritance start position, and the inheritance part end position in the chit format file inheritance. Store at the end position.

When the user finishes inputting the data of the slip this time, the user inputs whether or not to input the data of another slip, that is, whether or not to continue the data input to the slip. Based on the push signal input from the input device 12, it is determined whether or not to continue data input to the slip. The user uses a predetermined key of the input device 12 (continuation of slip input, end of slip input) to input whether or not to continue data input to the slip. CPU1
