ABSTRACT:
A method and system in an object oriented programming environment within a data processing system are provided for enhancement of the efficiency of entry of operator inputs utilizing a complex object. The complex object is associated with a plurality of objects within the object oriented programming environment. Each of the plurality of objects is associated with a different one of a plurality of operator input fields. Each of the plurality of operator input fields is associated with a plurality of selectable operator inputs. In response to a selection of an attribute by an operator, permitted combinations of the selectable operator inputs are automatically determined utilizing the complex object. The permitted combinations of the selectable operator inputs which have been automatically determined are then presented to an operator for selection. Each of the selectable operator inputs included within the permitted combination selected by an operator is then automatically entered into a different one of the operator input fields for each of the plurality of objects.
