Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a job list using a computer,
In particular, the present invention relates to the addition of a table of contents characterized by adding a page of job information that is output immediately before the print list of jobs.

Conventionally, a table of contents for each job has not been added to the job list printed out by a computer, and for jobs made up of a large amount of job steps or jobs made up of a large amount of job step data, certain parts may be It took a lot of effort to search through the job list because there was no table of contents.

The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks, and the following solution method has been adopted.

In a job processing device that includes a storage unit that holds information for each job, a list editing section that outputs the information for each job as a paged job list, and a printing section that prints a job list to be output, each job A group editing section that sequentially extracts the constituent groups of and sequentially arranges the items in the constituent groups, and a counting section that counts the correspondence between these items and the pages of the job list output by the list editing section. , the contents of the table of contents of each job are outputted by the outputs of the group editing section and the counter section immediately before the output of the list editing section.

This invention will be explained in detail below with reference to the drawings.

The figure shows an example of a table of contents creation structure based on the present invention.

In the figure, 11 is a storage means storing job information, 12 is a list editing section in the operating system, 13 is a printing section in the operating system, 14 is a line printer device, and 15 is a printing section in the operating system.
is a table of contents creation unit based on this invention. Further, 21 to 2n in the storage means 11 are output job information, 31 in the table of contents creation section 15 is a group editing section, and 32 is a counting section.

When the job processing section of the operating system (not shown) sequentially stores output information regarding each job in the storage means 11, the list editing section 12 stores the table of contents in the group editing section 31 in the table of contents creation section 15 before editing the list for the job. Command output. In accordance with this command, the group editing section 31 reads output information for each job from the storage means 11, extracts a job group, for example, a job step, and requests the counting section 32 to calculate the print start page for each group. The counting unit 32 calculates the requested print pages of the job group and the print pages of each item within the group for each item, and returns the calculated pages to the group editing unit 31. The group editing section 31 edits the table of contents list to be printed, and instructs the printing section 13 to send and print the table of contents. When the printing of the table of contents is completed, the group editing section 31 sends a completion command to the list editing section 12 indicating the end of printing the table of contents. In accordance with this completion command, the list editing section 12 reads job information from the storage section 11 as before, edits the information, and sends a print command to the printing section 13. The printing department 13 is the table of contents editing department 1
5 and the list editing section 12, various lists are printed on the line printer device 14.

As described above, the present invention can easily search a list.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

The figure shows an example of a table of contents creation structure based on the present invention. In the figure, 11 is a storage means storing job information, 12 is a list editing section in the operating system, 13 is a printing section in the operating system, 14 is a line printer device, and 15 is a printing section in the operating system.
is a table of contents creation unit based on this invention. Further, 21 to 2n in the storage means 11 are output job information, 31 in the table of contents creation section 15 is a group editing section, and 32 is a counting section.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1 storage means for holding information for each job;
In a job processing device that is equipped with a list editing section that outputs this job-by-job information as a paged job list and a printing section that prints out the job list to be output, the constituent groups of each job are sequentially extracted, and the constituent groups in this constituent group are The group editing section includes a group editing section that arranges items in order, and a counting section that counts the correspondence between these items and the pages of the job list output by the list editing section, and immediately before the output of the list editing section, the group editing section The table of contents addition method is characterized in that the table of contents of each job is outputted by the output of the section and the counter section.
