Abstract

A method and apparatus is provided for rendering a consistent format output for record data having inconsistent internal structures. Record data is batch entered into a database input buffer associated with a computer. Consecutive data lines are transferred from the input buffer to a stack. A parsing algorithm identifies related categories of the data in the stack. The individual data lines comprising each category are replaced with the associated compound category data line. Failures of the parsing algorithm to provide consistent format output are detected. An interactive editor interface displays the input buffer or stack to the user. Manual parsing and correction of data errors is thereby permitted.
