(1) In RACF, an installation-defined name that corresponds to a specific RACF security level with a set of security categories.<br />(2) In a trusted computing base, a label used to maintain multiple levels of security on a system. This label is a combination of a security class and a security level. See also identification label.<br />(3) In label-based access control (LBAC), a database object that can be granted to users and can also be applied to columns and rows in a table to protect the data. Only users who are granted appropriate security labels can access data that is protected by a security label. See also label-based access control, security label component, security policy.<br />(4) A classification of users' access to objects or data rows in a multilevel security environment.

(1) Data received by a program such as a prompt, 3270 script, custom server, or state table from the program 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.

(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) 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) Data that can contain any hexadecimal value.<br />(2) A set of code points that is interpreted as presentable data, not as control data. In the AFP architecture, transparent data is identified with a control byte and a count of the number of bytes that follow.
Industry:Software
(1) A statement used to initiate an action or start a service. A command consists of the command name abbreviation, and its parameters and flags if applicable.<br />(2) In SDLC, a frame transmitted by a primary station. Asynchronous balanced mode stations send both commands and responses. See also response.<br />(3) In SNA, any field set in the transmission header (TH), request header (RH), or request unit (RU) that states an action or that starts a protocol.<br />(4) A request from a terminal or automated operator for the performance of an operation or service, or for the execution of a particular program.<br />(5) A request to perform an operation or run a program. When parameters, arguments, flags, or other operands are associated with a command, the resulting character string is a single command.
Industry:Software
(1) In REXX, a program that performs certain operations, such as text editor operations, in applications.<br />(2) An instruction that causes the execution of a predefined sequence of instructions.<br />(3) A program that performs a series of automated tasks on behalf of the user. A macro consists of three components: the trigger (when it acts), the search (what documents it acts on), and the action (what it does).<br />(4) An XML script that defines a set of screens. Each screen includes a description of the screen, the actions to perform for that screen, and the screen or screens that can be presented after the actions are performed. A macro can be specified as one of the actions to be taken when a host screen matches the screen recognition criteria of a screen customization.
Industry:Software
(1) A storage area that is defined for an application process by the database manager and is used to store information that can be referenced in SQL statements. Examples are USER and CURRENT DATE. See also global variable, built-in global variable.<br />(2) In COBOL, compiler-created data items used to store information produced by specific COBOL features (for example, the DEBUG-ITEM special register).
Industry:Software
(1) Data that is exported from one procedure and imported into another procedure. See also internal data.<br />(2) In COBOL, the data described in a program as external data items and external file connectors.<br />(3) Data obtained from a channel (for example, external credits pending).<br />(4) Data that persists over the lifetime of an enclave and maintains last-used values whenever a routine within the enclave is reentered.
Industry:Software
(1) In REXX, a variable set automatically by the language processor. Special variables are RC, RESULT, and SIGL.<br />(2) A variable that is similar to a local or global variable, except that it is predefined in Data Interchange Services. Special variables are created during translation at the start of a document and cannot be created or maintained by the user.
