MACRO CONTROL SYSTEM FOR TERMINAL FUNCTION

Japanese Patent JPH01277957

A

PURPOSE:To reduce the communication volume to display data on the terminal side at a high speed by registering a sequence, in accordance with which terminal software parts are controlled, in a terminal memory by a host and starting this sequence by the host. CONSTITUTION:A terminal consists of a terminal input/output means 3, software parts 4, an output means 5, a terminal memory 10, and a terminal file 12. Parts 4 consists of fundamental functions and macro control functions of a macro register means 6, a macro executing means 7, a file storage means 8, etc. When a host computer 1 sends a start instruction to the terminal, the means 3 receives it and means 6 and 7, etc., are started. The terminal successively registers received communication sequences in a macro table 11 on the memory 10. When the macro number of a macro to be executed is received from the computer 1, the table 11 is retrieved to take out a corresponding communication sequence, and this sequence is executed to output results to the output means 5. The table 11 is saved in a macro file 13 of the file 12.
