MACLAN - método de acceso conversacional para lenguajes de alto nível: aplicacion a un sistema general de consistencia on-line

Abstract

The MACLAN system developed in the first Section of this study is an Access Method for teleprocessigg in conversational applications. It consists of a set of routines that may be called from programs written in any of the most common high level languages. These routines provide facilities for editing, error correction an code definitions. As an application of this system we developed a General Data Validation System. This is a system for data-entry with simultaneous consistency tests that gives the users the option of selecting the operational processing mode, that is, batch mode or real-time mode. In the real-time mode it can process simultaneously different data formats, generating the corresponding files of valid data and control reparts. We also presented, for simplifying the programming of the Validation Module, an initial idea for defining a special language with the necessary resources for reaching this objective.
