16 NESMA 报表的的数据元素类型数量案例分析

16 THE NUMBER OF DATA ELEMENT TYPES ON A REPORT（报表的的数据元素类型数量）

译文

问题描述

以下报告按产品组每个季度编制，包含每个国家/地区的销售额。（在本例中，产品组为音频。）通过屏幕请求报告。用户必须输入报告的季度。只有特定产品组中至少有一种产品已实际销售的国家才会印刷。欧洲、亚洲和其他国家的总数是各列的总和。百分比根据数量和营业额计算。

在确定外部输出复杂度时应该计算多少个数据元素类型？

讨论

要计数的数据元素类型由括号中的数字表示。标题中的日期是标准日期，正如左上角的“报告1A”，因此不计入。由于逻辑处理不同，每个地理单元的百分比在细目行中计算一次，在总行中再次计算一次。计算每列总数。变量字段“音频”、“当前月份”和“季度”也被计算在内。此外，当确定外部输出的复杂度时，屏幕上输入的数据被计数为数据元素类型（在本例中为一种），并且启动触发器应被计数。

解决方案

总共识别了15种数据元素类型。

原文

Problem description

The report below is made by product group each quarter and contains the sales for each country. (In this case, the product group is Audio.) The report is requested via a screen. The user must enter the quarter of the report. Only those countries are printed where at least one product of a given product group has actually been sold. The totals for Europe, Asia, and Other are the sums of the respective columns. The percentage is calculated from Qty and Turnover.

How many data element types should be counted when determining the complexity of the external output?

Discussion

The data element types to be counted are denoted by the figures in parentheses. The date in the heading is standard, just as “Report 1A” in the upper left hand corner, and, consequently, is not counted. The percentage is counted once in the detailed line and once again in the total line for each geographical unit because the logical processing differs. Each column total is counted. The variable fields “Audio”, “Current Month”, and “Quarter” are also counted. Additionally, the data entered on the screen are counted as data element types (one in this case) when the complexity of the external output is determined, and the initiation trigger is counted.

Solution

Fifteen data element types are distinguished in total.
