Abstract

A data name standardizing/unifying system for standardizing the names of data belonging to data items having different names and transferred or compared among data files so as to be unified for programs. For standardizing the data names, names of data items assumed to have same contents are gathered and a table indicating data names to be replaced are generated to be displayed together with prompting for entry of the standard data name to replace. From this table, standardization for data names is accomplished by this replacement of the data name in the programs. For identifying the standardized data names created for the different files, different file names or different and upper file names are added to a division of program which refers to the files.
