Abstract

A method of generating a plurality of forms that are related with one another, and more particularly a man-machine interface at a stage of generating forms, is able to define or correct form-relation definitions at a stage of inputting data in the forms from a standpoint of using the forms. The method is further able to realize definition and correction among forms merely by designating corresponding areas on a screen of a display device. Mutually-related forms are outputted to the display device based on predetermined form definitions, a message for calling upon an operator to perform a selective designation in order to determine an area to be adopted as a data transfer origin and an area to be adopted as a data transfer destination out of areas of the displayed forms is displayed, the area to be adopted as the transfer origin and the area to be adopted as the transfer destination are determined from the coordinate data inputted by the operator, the data loaded in the transfer origin area are transferred to the transfer destination area based on the relationship between the transfer origin area and the transfer destination area and the information relating to the forms, and transferred data are displayed in the transfer destination area.
