Abstract: IMPROVED MERGE A method of, and system for, merging a portion of one document into another and providing for current viewing and on line editing. During preparation of a document, a paragraph from another document can be included in the document being prepared by referencing the other document and paragraph. The result of referencing is inclusion of the paragraph, a view of the document being prepared, and a document including the included paragraph which is dynamically editable. If the paragraph is edited, an operator decision is to be made as to whether the other document is to be updated according to the editing.

Abstract: AT9-81 016 A METHOD FOR AUTOMATIC FIELD WIDTH EXPANSION IN A TEXT PROCESSING SYSTEM DURING INTERACTIVE ENTRY OF DISPLAYED RECORD SELECTION CRITERIA An improved method is disclosed for entering field dependent record selection criteria into an interactive text processing system which also processes spatially related data that is stored in the system in vector formatted records. In the process of identifying stored records which meet certain criteria, a qualifying frame is displayed consisting of a header row and, for example, three qualifying rows. The header row includes the field names and the qualifying rows are blank, except for the vertical lines depicting field boundaries. Selection criteria are entered into the system by positioning the cursor to the appropriate row/ column intersection and entering the selection data for that field. Criteria entered in different fields in one row represent a "logical AND" selection, while criteria in different rows represent a "logical OR" situation. The improvement involves the automatic expansion of the field boundaries of the selected field in both the header row and qualifying rows when more space is required to enter, for example, lengthy qualifiers into the field, a number of qualifiers which are ORed together, or different spellings of the same qualifier. The expansion results automatically in accordance with the relationship of the end of da a position to the right field boundary marker position to move repetitively the marker a fixed number of character positions, for example, five, towards the right edge of AT9-81-016 the display, and, when additional space is required, to shift repetitively the field name and entered data to the left five character positions -- therefore, providing an additional five character positions at the right edge of the field after each shift. The five positional left shift process continues as new data is entered, even though the initial data is moved off the screen, until some predetermined limit is reached. Alternatively, if additional space for the entry of data is required when the right field boundary coincides with the right edge of the screen, a horizontal line segmenting operation may occur to position the left field boundary at the left edge of the screen.

Abstract: AT9-81-007 A METHOD OF ENTERING FIELD DEPENDENT CRITERIA FOR SELECTING RECORDS OF SPATIALLY RELATED DATA IN AN INTERACTIVE TEXT PROCESSING SYSTEM An improved method is disclosed for assisting the operator of an interactive text processing system. The method assists the operator in entering interactively selection criteria to be used in selecting records from the existing file. The improved method involves displaying to the operator the header portion of the existing file, along with a predetermined number of "qualifying rows" in response to the operator having identified to the system the task to be accomplished and the name and the location of the existing file in the system. The method further involves movement of the cursor vertically and horizontally to row and column positions for entering of the selection criteria. After entering criteria into the displayed rows, the next operation of the cursor down key while in the last row is interpreted as an instruction to the system to add an additional row so that another "logical OR" selection criteria can be added to the previous criteria.

Abstract: SELECTIVE USE OF RESTORED FILE SETUPS The specification discloses a method for using stored information about previous file setups to permit portions of the previous file setup to be reconstructed and selectively used for different tasks or for the stored setup to be used for multiple, compatible files. A specified task to be performed on a file is selected by the operator from a task menu. The current frame for the task specified is displayed to the operator. From the displayed frame, the operator requests stored information about a previous file setup from a diskette Stored information about the previous file setup is interrogated to determine whether the setup contained a current frame and/or frames lower in the hierarchy of the current frame. If the result of the interrogation is positive, the stored information is further interrogated to determine whether the fields in the previous file setup are compatible with the current file. If the result of the second interrogation is positive, the stored information is copied into the current frame and/or frames lower in the hierarchy of the current frame to produce an updated setup containing restored frames.

Abstract: KEYING OF COMPLEX CONDITIONS An information processing system is disclosed which includes a display, a memory, a keyboard and a control unit. The system may store and display data in a table format by record and field. The system may be employed in an entry edit mode whereby data is entered or edited by an operator through the keyboard into the system. The system may also operate in a record selection mode whereby data in a field having a predetermined relation to a field value may be selected by the system. The system permits the entry of comparison operators and field values below the field heading in the display for the field to be searched. The keys representing the comparison operators and the keys representing data are at separate locations on the keyboard to prevent operator error in input. This feature is particularly advantageous when one symbol may be employed both as a comparison operator and data. Such a symbol would then be represented by two keys on the keyboard. The system also includes a syntax check routine which acts to detect syntax errors in data entered. The system rejects the improper data and informs the operator through the display. The syntax check routine also may be programed for the type of data to be entered into each field. The routine will then check each data to be entered in a given field to determine if the data is of the proper type. AT9-81-024 B14,932

Abstract: METHOD FOR PROCESSING INFORMATION HAVING TEXT FIELDS TOGETHER WITH CHARACTER AND ARITHMETIC FIELDS An information processing system (10) comprises a terminal (12) which functions with a diskette storage (14). The terminal (12) includes a display screen (16) and keyboard (18) wherein an operator enters alphanumeric characters and predefined commands. A file of information is stored on the diskette storage (14). The file is made up of a plurality of records. Each of the records comprises a plurality of fields. The fields include character fields, arithmetic fields and text fields. The text fields include alphanumeric, punctuation and control characters, the character fields include alphanumeric and punctuation characters and exclude control characters and the arithmetic fields include numeric characters and exclude control characters. By inputting commands to the keyboard (18) the operator reads a record from storage (14) and displays it on the screen (16). The content of the fields in the record are displayed on the screen (16) except for the text fields. For each text field there is displayed an asterisk (60). The operator selects a text field by positioning a cursor (62) beneath the corresponding asterisk and then inputting a down cursor command. In response to the down cursor command the terminal (12) opens a text window on the screen (16) and displays the corresponding text field on the lower portion (16b) of the screen (16). The operator is then free to edit the text field. After completion of the editing the operator enters a command to incorporate the edited text field with the selected record. The record with the edited text field can then be returned to the file in the storage (14). AT9-81-015
