The present invention provides novel naming and manipulation functions for user defined data structures in a data system using transaction service. In particular, in an electronics assembly engineering system having a computer subsystem in which user-defined data structures accessible to editor software have referential integrity and in which user modifications to the data structures during editing are made directly to the data structures rather than indirectly by way of a temporary file, the invention provides a method for permitting naming and manipulation of the data structures. The method includes the steps of (i) providing close, discard and rename functions for the data structures in the case where a newly-created data structure is being edited; (ii) providing close and copy functions for the data structures if an existing data structure is being edited; and (iii) excluding a save-as function for the data structures.
In an electronics assembly engineering system comprising a computer subsystem in which user-defined data structures accessible to editor software have referential integrity, and in which user modifications to the data structures during editing are made directly to the data structures rather than indirectly by way of a temporary file, a method for permitting naming and manipulation of the data structures, the method comprising the steps of:
In an electronics assembly engineering system, a computer subsystem in which user-defined data structures accessible to editor software have referential integrity, and in which user modifications to the data structures during editing are made directly to the data structures rather than indirectly by way of a temporary file, the subsystem comprising:
A computer-readable media for use with an electronics assembly engineering system comprising a computer subsystem in which user-defined data structures accessible to editor software have referential integrity, and in which user modifications to the data structures during editing are made directly to the data structures rather than indirectly by way of a temporary file, the media having stored on it instructions for performing a method for permitting naming and manipulation of the data structures, the method comprising the steps of:
A computer-readable media for use with an electronics assembly engineering system comprising a computer subsystem in which user-defined data structures accessible to editor software have referential integrity, and in which user modifications to the data structures during editing are made directly to the data structures rather than indirectly by way of a temporary file, the media having
In a computer system in which user-defined data structures accessible to editor software have referential integrity, and in which user modifications to the data structures during editing are made directly to them rather than indirectly by way of a temporary file, a method for permitting naming and manipulation of the data structures, the method comprising the steps of:
A method for enabling data structure naming and manipulation functions in a computer system coupled to a display and employing transacted service, wherein the data structures have referential integrity and temporary copies of data structures are not created during editing of the data structures, the method comprising the steps of:
A method for enabling naming and manipulation functions for data structures in a computer subsystem of an electronics assembly system engineering system, the computer subsystem coupled to a display and also employing transacted service, wherein the data structures have referential integrity and temporary copies of data structures are not created during editing of the data structures, the method comprising the steps of:
