Data processing apparatus

Abstract

A data processing apparatus includes a slip file for storing slip records each including item data corresponding to individual item names of the slip records, and a data file for storing data records in correspondence with individual item names of the data records. A memory stores a correlation table showing a correlation between individual item names of the slip records and individual item names of the data records to be processed at a time of renewal of the slip records. At renewal of the data records in the data file, the item data of each of the slip records in the slip file are arranged to correspond with an arrangement of each of the data records in the data file, in accordance with the correlation table stored in the memory, to thereby generate records for renewal. The data records in the data file are then renewed in accordance with the generated records for renewal.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a data processing device in office computers, personal computers, etc., which can process data according to various office work files. Background technique [0002] A data processing device, such as an office computer, which handles office work, stores and manages a wide variety of files such as work files, financial files, transfer files, and personal files. As the file is different, the record structure of each data file is different. The various data files are combined into individual files according to the record format (records with matching constituent items), and are stored and managed in this record format. [0003] Updating of workfile records, ie, collection and addition of records, etc., is performed by entering a sales or purchase document. This update processing of a predetermined file can be performed according to an input program designed in advance by an expert such as a system engineer for each docume...
