Claim One:
1. A method for specifying, executing and analyzing method sequences for the recognition of dispatch labels and form entries, characterized in that, in the specification phase, the method sequences are input in graphical form into a computer system as flowcharts with attributes and function details which define the influence of individual variables on the method sequence, with codes being automatically generated from the flowcharts as an internal representation which is converted by means of a compiler into a loadable, executable module which is called for each processing step in the handling phase for recognizing the respective dispatch label or form entry, in that, in the handling phase for recognition, information for describing the particular current sequence and the current values of the attributes is written to an attribute file for each processing step, and in that, in the later analysis phase, the individual processing steps during the handling phase are reconstructed by displaying the course of processing for each dispatch or each form in the flowcharts with the attributes together with the associated images of the dispatch labels or form entries, with the attributes showing the current values from the attribute file for the respective dispatch label or form entry.
