Abstract
In a file update processing apparatus incorporating files, a list having a matrix arrangement is automatically formed. In this list, files names are listed in one column in correspondence with the respective files, and directory names are listed in the other column in correspondence with directories. In addition, identification data indicating the correspondence between the directory names and the file names are included in the list, thereby clearly indicating specific files defined as update targets in units of directories. In addition, lists, each having a matrix arrangement, are automatically formed in units of arbitrarily designated files. In each list, field names of records constituting the designated file are listed in one column, and directory names including file update definitions for defining the designated file as an update target are listed in the other column. In addition, identification data indicating the correspondence between the directory names and the file names are included in the list, thereby clearly indicating specific fields defined as update targets in units of directories.
