CATEGORIES OF DATA PROCESSING Mechanical Data Processing – combination of manual procedures and mechanical equipment (typewriter and calculator). Electronic Data Processing – different type of input, output, and storage devices may be interconnected to an electronic computer to process data.

AREAS OF DATA PROCESSING Business Data Processing (BDP) - business data processing is characterized by the need to establish, retain, and process files of data for producing useful information. Scientific Data Processing (SDP) - data processing involves a limited volume of input and many logical or arithmetic calculations.

DATA PROCESSING OPERATIONS RECORDING- refers to the transfer of data onto some form or document. VERIFYING- since recording is usually a manual operation, it is important that recorded data be carefully checked for any errors. DUPLICATING- this operation consists in reproducing the data onto many forms or documents. CLASSIFYING- this operation separates data into various categories. SORTING- arranging data in specific order.

DATA PROCESSING OPERATIONS CALCULATING- arithmetic manipulation of the data. SUMMARIZING AND REPORTING- a collection of data is condensed and certain conclusions from the data are represented in a meaningful format. MERGING- this operation takes two or more sets of data, all sets having been sorted as the same key. STORING- placing similar data into files for future reference. RETRIEVING- recovering stored data and/or information when needed. FEEDBACK- comparison of the output(s) and the goal set in advance. No part of this material may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system or transmitted in any form or by any means – electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording or otherwise, without permission in writing from the author or lecturer.  COLLEGE OF INFORMATION SYSTEM Calayan Educational Foundation, Inc. METHODS OF PROCESSING DATA BATCH PROCESSING- a technique in which data to be processed or programs to be executed are collected into groups to permit convenient, efficient, and serial processing. ONLINE PROCESSING- the term on-line refers to equipment or devices under the direct control of the CPU of the computer. No part of this material may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system or transmitted in any form or by any means – electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording or otherwise, without permission in writing from the author or lecturer.  COLLEGE OF INFORMATION SYSTEM Calayan Educational Foundation, Inc. METHODS OF PROCESSING DATA REALTIME PROCESSING- method of data processing which has the capability of a fast-response to obtain data from an activity or a physical process, perform computations, and return a response rapidly enough to affect the outcome of the activity or process. DISTRIBUTED PROCESSING- the most complex level of computer processing, distributed processing, generally consists of remote terminals linked to a large central computer system to help the user conduct inquiries about accounts, process jobs, or other data processing operations.
