A forms engine allows data sharing between customizable on-line forms, such as college admissions applications. Before applying, an applicant opens an account with a third party application servicer. After the applicant completes an application for one institution, the data is saved in a data base and automatically populates fields in subsequent application forms. The form for each institution is created from a form description file. Each form is branded for its institution and forms for different institutions differ in appearance and content so that the presence of the third party servicer is transparent to the applicant.The system is extensible without programming, allowing new applicant attributes to be readily incorporated into the system and allowing the content and appearance of the application to be readily changed by changing the description file. The use of aliases for applicant attributes permits data to be readily shared between forms even though labeled and arranged differently on different forms. Information stored about each attribute allows the specification of data validation rules and data sharing and grouping rules, as well as dependency rules that permit application page content to depend on applicant's responses on a previous page.

Disclosed is a system for reassigning addresses. A first processing unit, such as a storage controller, provides at least two base addresses for addressing devices, such as volumes of a direct access storage device (DASD) and a plurality of alias addresses. An alias address associated with a base address provides an address for addressing the device addressed by the base address. The first processing unit processes a command transmitted from a second processing unit, such as a host system that accesses the DASD through the storage controller, to reassign an alias address from a first base address to a second base address. The first base address addresses a first device and the second base address addresses a second device. The first processing unit then indicates that the alias address to reassign is not associated with the first base address and is associated with the second base address. The second device addressed by the second base addresses is capable of being addressed by the reassigned alias address. The first processing unit signals the second processing unit after the first processing unit indicates that the alias address was reassigned from the first base address to the second base address.

Disclosed is a system for dynamically assigning alias addresses to base addresses referencing an I / O device, such as a direct access storage device (DASD). In the system, at least one base control block indicates a base address and a plurality of alias control blocks indicate a plurality of alias addresses. Each control block is associated with an address for addressing an I / O device. A processing unit, such as a host computer system, processes at least one alias control block associated with the I / O device and determines a base control block associated with the I / O device with which the alias control blocks are associated. The processing unit then binds at least one alias control block to the determined base control block. The bound base and alias control blocks provide different addresses to address the same I / O device. Further, the bound base and alias addresses address the same I / O device for subsequent I / O operations until the processing unit detects a reassignment of the association of base and alias addresses.

The method is applied to array bound overflow, division by zero and null pointer dereference.

A data processing method, program, and apparatus for identifying a document within a block of text. A block of text is tokenized into a plurality of text tokens according to at least one rule parser. Each of the plurality of text tokens is sequentially compared to a plurality of document tokens to determine if the text token matches one of the plurality of document tokens. The plurality of document tokens correspond to a plurality of documents which have been tokenized according to the one or more rule parsers. Each matched text token is filtered according to predetermined filtering criteria to generate one or more candidate text tokens. It is then determined whether sequence of candidate text tokens that occur in sequential order within the block of text match sequence of document tokens. If so, then it is determined that the document has been identified within the block of text. The document can correspond to an artist, a song names, and misspellings and aliases thereof.
