Industry:Software
(1) A file containing data that is to be processed unattended.<br />(2) A file that contains instructions that are processed sequentially, as a unit.

(1) A self-contained, self-describing modular application that can be published, discovered, and invoked over a network using standard network protocols. Typically, XML is used to tag the data, SOAP is used to transfer the data, WSDL is used for describing the services available, and UDDI is used for listing what services are available.<br />(2) An application that performs specific tasks and is accessible through open protocols such as HTTP and SOAP.

(1) A file containing data, such as customer orders, that is usually used only with a master file.<br />(2) In COBOL, an input-output file used to communicate with display stations and ICF sessions.

(1) A self-identifying string of bytes and its data or parameters.<br />(2) Output from the DFSMSrmm application programming interface (API) consisting of a structured field introducer (SFI) and output data.
Industry:Software
(1) A file containing predefined values that is used instead of someone having to enter those values one at a time. See also silent installation.<br />(2) An ASCII file that can be customized with the setup and configuration data that automates an installation. The setup and configuration data would have to be entered during an interactive install, but with a response file, the installation can proceed without any intervention.
Industry:Software
(1) A separately executable unit of work.<br />(2) In the Integrated Language Environment (ILE) model, a collection of resources and data that consists of one or more activation groups.<br />(3) See application process.<br />(4) A WebSphere DataStage application for data warehousing that specifies data sources, required transforms, and the destination of the data that is transformed.
Industry:Software
(1) A file that contains continuous streams of bits such as PC files, documents, and other data stored in System i folders.<br />(2) A file containing a continuous stream of data. Stream files are well suited for storing strings of data such as the text of a document, images, audio, and video. The content and format of stream files are managed by the application rather than by the system.
Industry:Software
(1) A file that contains one or more rules.<br />(2) An if-then statement composed of a set of textual statements or rules where the "if" is the condition of the rule and the "then" is the action. In a programming environment, each of these rules is evaluated sequentially, and each condition that evaluates to true is acted upon. See also decision table, if-then rule.
Industry:Software
(1) A sequence of bits or characters that identifies a user, program, device, or system to another user, program, device, or system. See also data name.<br />(2) In the C language, a sequence of letters, digits, and underscores used to identify a data object or function.<br />(3) In COBOL, a data name that is unique or is made unique by the correct combination of qualifiers, subscripts, or indexes.<br />(4) In the 3270 terminal services development tool, a field on a screen definition that uniquely identifies the state of the screen.
