Patent attributes
The invention relates to a method for controlling data-processing software modules (4, 5, 6, 7), wherein the data to be processed are organized in files, and wherein the processing is performed in a plurality of successive processing sections and the files in one processing section are processed by at least one software module (4, 5, 6, 7). To prevent the propagation and spreading of deviations occurring during the processing in the software modules (4, 5, 6, 7) in subsequent processing sections, information about the data processed are collected in the software modules (4, 5, 6, 7) of the processing sections and are signalized to a control system (8), said control system (8) comparing the information signalized and stopping the processing in a subsequent processing section if the comparison of the information revealed that a predetermined, admissible maximum deviation has been exceeded.
