Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for automatically generating a remodeling program, and more particularly to an apparatus and a method for automatically generating a COBOL remodeling program in the development of a business processing program.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the development of a business processing program, a remodeling program is generated by adding a remodeling to a running COBOL program. Normally, to generate this kind of remodeling program, the program source of the running program is copied and used as a base for the remodeling work, and the source line is remodeled. Alternatively, the design information of the running program is copied and used as the base of the remodeling work, and the source of the remodeling program is generated based on the redesigned design information.

In the remodeling of the COBOL program, the source or design information of the running program and the source or design information of the remodeling program are managed separately until the remodeling program is put into operation. Therefore, when a modification is made to the running program, it is necessary to make the same modification to the modified program source or the design information as the modification made to the running program.

Conventionally, when a modification is made to a running program, the same modification is manually made to the remodeling program.

[0005]

A first problem is that a modification similar to the modification made to the running program is not accurately added to the remodeling program, which causes a malfunction when the remodeling program is put into full operation. That is the case. Such a problem is more likely to occur in a large-scale system in which the number of programs and the amount of modification are large.

The reason is that since the source or design information of the running program and the remodeling program are managed separately, it is necessary to manually make the same correction to each of them. This is because a correction error is likely to occur. In addition, if the person in charge of modifying the running program and the person in charge of modifying the remodeling program are not the same person, the communication between the persons in charge is likely to be insufficient, and the probability that the remodeling program will be leaked is even higher. Become.

According to the present invention, during a program remodeling period, a modification made to a running program which is a source of the remodeling program is surely reflected in the remodeling program, and the quality of the remodeling program due to complicated source management and information transmission leakage is reduced. The purpose is to prevent reduction.

[0008]

According to the present invention, a remodeling information extracting means (15 in FIG. 1) for extracting remodeling information from a remodeling program, and a remodeling information storage means (12 in FIG. 1) for storing the remodeling information. ), And a remodeling program generation processing means (13 in FIG. 1) for editing a running program and the remodeling information to generate a new remodeling program. Can be

According to the present invention, a running source storage means (11 in FIG. 1) for storing the running program.
And a correcting means (16a in FIG. 1) for correcting the running program stored in the running source storage means. Each time the correcting means corrects the running program, the modification program An automatic generation program for a remodeling program is obtained, wherein the generation processing means generates the new remodeling program.

Further, according to the present invention, a modified source storage means (1 in FIG. 1) for copying and storing the running program.
4) and remodeling means (16b in FIG. 1) for remodeling a copy of the running program stored in the remodeling source storage means to obtain the remodeling program. An automatic generation program of a remodeling program characterized in that the remodeling can be performed again by storing it in the storage means.

Further, according to the present invention, the remodeling information is extracted from the remodeling program and stored in the remodeling information storage means, and each time the running program stored in the running source storage means is corrected, An automatic generation method of a remodeling program is obtained, wherein a new remodeling program is automatically generated by editing the operated program and the remodeling information.

Still further, according to the present invention, the new remodeling program is remodeled again, new remodeling information is extracted and stored in the remodeling information storage means. A generation method is obtained.

[0013]

According to the present invention, a remodeling program can be generated at any time from a running program and remodeling information, and the latest modification of the running program can be automatically reflected in the remodeling program. . For this reason, the remodeling person does not need to manually add the correction made to the running program to the remodeling program.

Also, since the remodeling information is automatically extracted and managed from the remodeling program, the person in charge of remodeling can use the screen editor to perform a new remodeling on the automatically generated remodeling program without being conscious of the remodeling information. Can be added.

Then, when the running program stored in the running source library 11 is corrected by the screen editor 16a, the remodeling program generation processing unit 13 generates a new remodeling program 103.

As described above, the apparatus shown in FIG. 1 automatically generates a remodeling program at any time from the latest operating program and the latest remodeling information.

[0024]

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

The remodeling program 103a has been remodeled by a remodeling person using a screen editor based on the running program. In this example, the line content is changed (replaced) for the COBOL line number 20500, and
The first row is newly added. A remodeling category (indicated by #) indicating the remodeling line is in the 80th column of the remodeled COBOL source row, and an updating category for the running program (the replacement of the line is
, The addition of a row is indicated by U).

The remodeling information creation processing section 15 creates remodeling information 102a from the remodeling program 103a. That is, the remodeling information creation processing unit 15
The COBOL source line in which the remodeling section has been input is extracted from FIG. In this example, C
The OBOL line numbers 20500 and 20601 are extracted.

When the running program is corrected by the screen editor after the remodeling operation is completed and becomes the corrected running program 101a, the rebuilding program generation processing unit 13 generates the running program 101a and the remodeling information 102a. And edit the new remodeling program 103
