Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a record layout real-time display device, and more particularly to a means for representing a record structure when designing or defining a record.

[Conventional technology]

Generally, the work of designing or defining a record such as a file requires complicated processes to be performed while considering the entire file. Conventionally, in the above-mentioned work, record structure information and item information are input in a table format, and this is expressed as a record layout using a step display or text starting with a level number. However, this method has the disadvantage that it is difficult to see the entire record structure, making it difficult to judge whether appropriate definitions and settings have been made for the record structure and items.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

The problem to be solved by the present invention, in other words, the object of the present invention is to improve the above-mentioned drawbacks by providing a means for visually recognizing the entire record structure when defining the record structure of a file. An object of the present invention is to provide a layout instant display device.

[Means for solving problems]

The record layout instant display device of the present invention includes:
A record information input unit that inputs information that defines a record such as a file, an item information inspection unit that checks for grammatical errors in items included in the record information, and an item information editing unit that edits the item information to display information. a structure information analysis unit that analyzes the structure of the record based on the record information; and an item digit number analysis unit that calculates the number of physical digits actually occupied and the number of display digits based on the attributes and number of digits of the item information. a record layout creation unit that assembles a layout diagram of the record based on the structure information and the number of item digits, and a display unit that displays the layout diagram in synchronization with the display information, Information at the time of defining record items created as internal specifications during design is immediately displayed as a layout diagram, including the hierarchical structure.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, a record layout instant display device according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, the record layout instant display device includes a record information input section 1, an item information inspection section 2, an item information editing section 3, and a structure information analysis section 4.
, an item digit number analysis section 5 , a record layout creation section 6 , and a display section 7 .

The record information input unit 1 sets and inputs item information that defines each item in a record. Then, the item information checking section 2 performs a grammatical check on the above item information. Next, item information editorial department 3
edits the above item information and displays it as data that defines the record.

The structural information analysis unit 4 analyzes the parent-child relationship between items based on the structural data indicating the level of each item, and the item digit number analysis unit 5 analyzes the actual occupancy based on the attribute, code, number of digits, etc. of each item. Calculate the number of digits to display and the number of digits to display. Then, the record layout creation section 6 assembles and displays a record layout diagram based on the above structure analysis and digit number analysis.

The display section 7 synchronizes and sequentially displays the item information sent by the item information editing section 3 and the record layout diagram sent out by the record layout creation section.

FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing a display example of a record layout. In the figure, item information 12 is record information input from the record information input section 1, checked for grammar by the item information checking section 2, and edited by the item information editing section 3. In other words, each item information includes level, item name, attribute, number of digits, code, etc.
is being entered.

The record layout 11 is based on the structure information (leveling, parent-child relationship between items, etc.) analyzed by the structure information analysis unit 4 based on the record information described above, and the number of item digits (item number) analyzed by the item digit number analysis unit 5. The record layout creation unit 6 creates the layout according to the physical number of occupied digits and the number of display digits based on the attributes. Note that the shaded portion of the record layout 11 corresponds to the shaded portion of the item information 12.

Each time item information in a record is input as described above, the layout diagram of that record can be displayed in synchronization with the display of the definition of the item information.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above in detail, according to the record layout instant display device of the present invention, when defining a record such as a file, it is possible to display the record layout corresponding to each item in the record. Data structures can be designed and defined while visually viewing the overall structure.
Therefore, it has the effect of reducing operational errors and improving work efficiency.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. A record information input section that inputs information that defines a record such as a file, an item information inspection section that checks for grammatical errors in items included in the record information, and an item information edit section that edits the item information and makes it display information. a structure information analysis section that analyzes the structure of the record based on the record information, and an item digit number that calculates the number of physical digits actually occupied and the number of display digits based on the attribute and number of digits of the item information. It has an analysis section, a record layout creation section that assembles a layout diagram of the record based on the structure information and the number of item digits, and a display section that displays the layout diagram in synchronization with the display information. 1. A record layout instant display device, characterized in that information at the time of item definition of a record, which is created as an internal specification during the design of a record layout, is immediately displayed as a layout diagram, including a hierarchical structure.
