In a data management unit in a computer system, the computer system has a computer in which the data management unit is incorporated, and a terminal intercommunicates with the computer. In the data management unit, an object data storage unit (memory) stores in addresses thereon data items to which the terminal is adapted to make access. A parameter management file stores thereon parameters concerning a data structure of each data item. The parameters include a data name of each data item, a data type of each data item, an address related to each data item on the data storage unit and an array information of at least one data item. Then at least one data item has an array structure, and the array information includes a number of the array elements. On a number of bytes definition table, a number of bytes corresponding to each data type of each data item is stored. A data table producing module is adapted to make, according to the parameters concerning the data structures of the data items of the numbers of bytes of the data types, an address related to each data item in array element units on the memory (data storage unit) correspond to each data name of each data item so as to produce a data table.
