(1) Data received by a programme such as a prompt, 3270 script, custom server, or state table from the programme that invoked it. See also local variable, system variable.<br />(2) A parameter of an MQI call in which you supply information when you make the call.
Industry:Software
(1) In RACF, the use of security categories, a security level, or both, to impose access controls. See also security level.<br />(2) An installation-defined level of security printed on the separator pages of printed output.
Industry:Software
(1) A technique for compressing data that avoids repeatedly having to code data elements of the same value; instead, the value is coded once, along with the number of times for it to be repeated.<br />(2) A type of compression that is based on strings of repeated, adjacent characters or symbols, which are called "runs." See also run.
Industry:Software
(1) In a network environment, the route between any two nodes.<br />(2) The route through a file system to a specific file.<br />(3) In OSI, a description of how a local line or line set can be used for outbound communications.<br />(4) In SNA, the set of data links, data link control layers, and path control layers that a path information unit travels through when sent from the transmission control layer of one half-session to the transmission control layer of another half-session.
Industry:Software
(1) In SQL replication, a table created for and used by an application before it is defined as a replication source. A user table is used as the source for updates to read-only target tables, consistent-change-data tables, replicas, and row-replica tables.<br />(2) A list of user IDs authorised to a System i finance job.<br />(3) An installation-defined table that is used to extend, modify, or delete the default processing specifications. See also table pair.
Industry:Software
(1) A statement that controls what the compiler does rather than what the compiled programme does.<br />(2) In COBOL, a statement, beginning with a compiler-directing verb, that causes the compiler to take a specific action during compilation. The compiler-directing statements are the COPY, ENTER, REPLACE, and USE statements.<br />(3) In RPG, an instruction that controls a compilation listing or causes records to be inserted. The four compiler directives are /TITLE, /EJECT, /SPACE, and /COPY.

(1) Data that can be accessed without any special action by the user, such as data on primary storage or migrated data. Active data also can be stored on tape volumes. See also inactive data.<br />(2) For tape mount management, application data that is frequently referenced, small in size, and managed better on a direct access storage device (DASD) than on tape.
Industry:Software
(1) In replication, on Linux, UNIX, and Windows, a DB2 database.<br />(2) On z/OS, a subsystem that is running DB2 for z/OS.
Industry:Software
(1) A technique for connecting two or more cooperative portlets so that changes in the source portlet automatically update the target portlets. See also Click-to-Action, cooperative portlets.<br />(2) A connector used to pass control and data from a component or an export to a target.<br />(3) To connect two or more components or cooperative portlets so that they work together. For an application the wiring identifies target services; for portlets changes in the source portlet automatically update the target portlets.
Industry:Software
(1) In a privacy management environment, a storage location, with a value that might or might not be known by the PII owner, that represents the identity of the PII owner of other PII-classified storage locations. See also storage location, user identifier.<br />(2) A storage key that can be used by processes when running in user mode (as opposed to kernel node).
