Appeal No. 1997-4219
Application No. 08/315,745
the claims requires the generation of a “cross reference” or a
cross referencing system. The cross referencing system, as
disclosed, requires an input of a first set of data items from
the source application system [see 9 in Figure 1] and another
input of a second set of data items from the target
application system [see 35 in Figure 1]. The cross
referencing system, coupled to receive these two sets of
data, generates a cross referencing repository in response to
these inputs. Translation takes place based on the cross
reference generated.
Claims 2 and 7 are very specific about the cross
referencing system requiring inputs from both the source
application system and the target application system. While
not as specific, claim 1 does call for the generation of a
cross reference between a first set of data items from the
source application system and a second set of data items from
the target application system. So, even claim 1 requires some
input from the target application system to the cross
referencing system. Claim 9, while somewhat broader in many
aspects, still calls for a means for cross referencing data
items in a source application system program with data items
