ABSTRACT:
With employment of a computer, table format data is arranged to produce a desirable form in accordance with the following sequential operation. The designated data table is displayed on a relational table display window, and a base record is set with respect to the relational table on this window. An arranging display window is produced, and an allocation and an initialization of a memory region are performed. A basic portion of the form is created by arranging the data from the relational data to the arranging display window. Furthermore, repeating data among the arranged data is designated, and then a repeating parameter for designating the sort of repeating process and also the display position during the repeating representation are inputted, and thereafter the repeating process is applied to the designated data based upon these parameter and display position, whereby a form is created. Furthermore, based upon the form arranging data table, the relational format table data containing such a specific column data as a total and an average is displayed on a display screen. A designation is made of the column whose layout is changed on the screen, the table data corresponding to the designated column is discriminated, and then the data whose layout should be updated is stored into the specific data arranging data table so as to be separately managed.
