A METHOD FOR INTEGRATING STRUCTURED DATA AND STRING DATA ON A TEXT PROCESSING SYSTEM ABSTRACT An improved method is disclosed for operating an interactive text processing system to integrate and process data having type structured fields of fixed length and data having variable length field text or string field data which contain both graphic data characters and format control characters in the same record. The method involves displaying to the text processing system operator a menu of data type codes selectable through a keyboard for defining the types of data fields in a record. In response to operator selected field types, structured fields of fixed length and address pointers of fixed length for the string fields are established for the records. When the data is keyed in, the structured fields are concatenated with the string field address pointers and the text data, including format control codes, is stored at a system selected address on an auxiliary storage device such as a disk file. The structured field data is displayed or printed under control of the field length definintions and the string field data is displayed or printed under control of the address pointer and imbedded format control codes.
