System for dynamically exchanging and matching revision information between host and terminal

DETAILED DESCRIPTION An object of the present invention is to eliminate such a drawback and to provide a system for dynamically exchanging the revision information between the host and the terminal which takes matching of the revision information between the host and the WS into account by exchanging it when the program is started and returns both of the host and the WS temporarily to the same revision condition as the assets are developed to assure a complete compatibility between all the combinations of revisions for the host versus WS and all the combinations of asset revisions while realizing the greatest possible function which can be displayed by those combinations.
According to the present invention, there is provided a system for prosecuting a micro mainframe link software in which a host program and a work station program are linked together by dynamically exchanging revision information between a host station and a work station comprising: means for retaining a basic revision of said work station-side program; means for recording a work station-side operating revision corresponding to the revision of an asset developed on said work station-side program as an asset revision; means for informing said work station-side basic revision from said work station-side program to said host station-side program; means for retaining a basic revision of said host station-side program; means for receiving said basic revision of said work station-side and determining a operating revision of said host-side program corresponding to said basic revision of said work station-side program with reference to said basic revision of said host-side program; means for retaining said host station-side operating revision determined by said determining means; means for informing said host station-side basic revision from said host-side program to said work station-side program; means for reading said asset revision when an asset developed on said work station-side program is executed; means for receiving either said basic revision of the host station-side program or said asset revision of said work station-side program to accordingly determine an operating revision of said work station-side program; and means for changing said work station-side basic revision temporarily to said asset revision
