	GLOSSARY
Allocate	To create a file on the microcomputer.
API	Application Program Interface. The interface
	(calling conventions) by which an application
	program accesses operating system and other
	services.
ASCII character set	American Standard Code for Information
	Interchange. A standard set of characters used by
	microcomputers to represent data. See also EBCDIC
	character set.

BASIC sequential format *BASICS. One of four micro file formats supported by ETU. BASIC sequential files are usually created with database applications. Commas separate the fields within a BASIC sequential file.

batch processing	One of two ways of running jobs on the AS/400
	(along with interactive processing). A job run in
	batch is submitted to a job queue where it will
	be processed when it reaches the top of the
	queue.
data transfer	The process of moving data between the micro and
	the host with ETU.
data translation	An ETU process in which data is changed from
	ASCII to EBCDIC or from EBCDIC to ASCII, so that
	host data can be used on the micro, and micro
	data can be used on the host.
DDS	Data Description Specifications. A means of
	creating external file definitions on the AS/400.
	With DDS, you will define each field within the
	file you are defining. DDS are created using the
	AS/400 facility Source Entry Utility.
DIF format	*DIF. One of four micro file formats supported by
	ETU. DIF files are usually created with
	spreadsheet applications such as LOTUS 1-2-3.
EBCDIC character set	Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code. A
	set of characters used by IBM midrange computers
	and display stations to represent data. See also
	ASCII character set.
ETU	Emulator Transfer Utility. AS/400 utility that
	transfers files to or from 5250 emulators. The
	best around.
