Sometimes referred to as “Big Blue” IBM is a multinational corporation headquartered in Armonk, New York. It manufactures computer hardware and software and provides information technology and services.
An Internet standard that allows different forms of data including video, audio, or binary data to be attached to e-mail without requiring translation into ASCII text.
Industry:Software
An interpretive language that is used to write command lists that contain sequences of commands to be executed when the name of the command list is entered. Tivoli NetView for z/OS supports command lists that are written in two command list languages: REXX and its own unique language, the NetView command list language.
Industry:Software
An interprocess communication buffer used by the low-level application programming interface (LAPI) for Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA).
Industry:Software
(1) A string, symbol, or function call contained within a REXX expression.<br />(2) The smallest part of an expression that can be assigned a value.
Industry:Software
(1) For fibre-channel connections, a topology that enables the interconnection of a set of nodes.<br />(2) A shared fibre-channel transport, operating at 100 MBps or more, that is structured as a loop and supports up to 126 devices and one fabric attachment. A port must successfully arbitrate before a circuit can be established. See also arbitrate primitive signal, switched fabric, node loop port.
Industry:Software
(1) In RPG, file description and input specifications that describe the records and fields in a file.<br />(2) In IDDU, information that describes the contents and characteristics of a file. A file definition resides in a data dictionary.
Industry:Software
(1) A strongly typed, high-performance function that is integral to the DB2 database. A built-in function can be referenced in SQL statements anywhere that an expression is valid. See also function, routine.<br />(2) In programming languages, a function that is predefined by the compiler and whose code is incorporated directly into the compiled object rather than called at run time.<br />(3) A function for which the compiler automatically generates inline code at compile time instead of making a runtime call to the function. See also function.<br />(4) A function that is generated by DB2 and that is in the SYSIBM schema. See also cast function, external function, user-defined function, SQL function, sourced function.
Industry:Software
(1) For interactive jobs, the system to which the display device is directly attached. For batch jobs, the system on which the job is being processed.<br />(2) In an IMS multisystem environment, a specific system in the multiple configuration.<br />(3) In a multisystem environment, the system on which an application program is executing. A local application can process data from databases located on either the same (local) system or another (remote) system. See also remote system.
Industry:Software
(1) In RPG, one or more fields that are compared from record to record to determine when the information in the fields changes. When the information changes, the control level indicator (L1 through L9) assigned to a control field is set on.<br />(2) In AFP Utilities, an input field on the screen view that is used to move the image area up, down, left, or right.<br />(3) In Application Development ToolSet, one or more specified fields that are compared to determine the record sequence in the output file.<br />(4) In data communications, a field within a frame that contains the commands, responses, sequence numbers, and poll or final bit for data link control.<br />(5) In MERVA Link, a field that is part of a MERVA message on the queue data set and of the message in the TOF. A control field is written to the TOF at nesting identifier 0. Messages in SWIFT format do not contain a control field.
Industry:Software
(1) A structure that contains an ordered collection of data elements in which each element can be referenced by its ordinal position in the collection. All elements in an array have the same data type.<br />(2) An arrangement of data in one or more dimensions, such as a list, table, or multidimensional arrangement of items.<br />(3) An arrangement of related hard-disk-drive modules that have been assigned to a group.<br />(4) In programming languages, an aggregate that consists of data objects, with identical attributes, each of which can be uniquely referenced by subscripting. See also vector, scalar.<br />(5) In EGL, a structure item that has an occurs value greater than one. If an array has a subordinate structure item that also has an occurs value greater than one, the subordinate structure item declares an array with an additional dimension.<br />(6) A number of items stored together, which a user can quickly retrieve by supplying the correct index.<br />(7) An ordered collection, or group, of physical devices (disk drive modules) that are used to define logical volumes (LVOLs) or devices. In the ESS, an array is a group of disks designated by the user to be managed with a Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID). See also Redundant Array of Independent Disks.
