REFERENCE PROCESSING SYSTEM FOR USER'S INHERENT CONDITION

PURPOSE:To reduce the load on a programmer by providing a user's inherent condition master and referring to it by a read-in subroutine, and thus facilitating the processing for the reference and preventing a deadlock from being caused. CONSTITUTION:The user's inherent condition master 4 is an external master file storing user's inherent conditions in the form of unit records. When a main program 2 is executed, processing corresponding to user's inherent conditions is included in main processing and in initialization processing which is carried out prior to it, the user's inherent condition master read-in subroutine 4 is called and executed. Consequently, the user's inherent conditions are read in the read-in subroutine 3 from the user's inherent condition master 4. Consequently, a main program 2 itself need not refer to the user's inherent condition master 4, so the processing for the reference is facilitated and no deadlock is caused, thereby reducing the load on the programmer.
