Nlynx ETU400 manual Host system, Interactive processing, Job queue, Logical file, Output queue

F&I	Format and Input specifications. A means of
	creating internal file definitions on the AS/400.
	ETU supports F&I specs.
host system	The AS/400 computer and its peripherals.
IBMTRAN	An interface program for PCs that is included
	with ETU. It allows non-ES32 emulation packages
	to be used with ETU.
interactive processing	One of two ways of running jobs on the AS/400
	(along with batch processing). A job that is run
	interactively begins being processed the instant
	it is executed from the workstation. The
	workstation is tied up for other purposes until
	the job is complete.
job queue	A waiting area on the AS/400 where batch jobs are
	sent to wait for processing. Jobs in the job
	queue are processed in the order that they were
	received in the queue.
logical file	A description of how data is to be presented to
	or received from a host program. This type of
	file contains no data, but it provides an
	ordering and format for one or more physical
	files. Contrast with physical file.
OCL	Object Constraint Language. A modeling language
	used to set up strings of valid OS400 commands.
output queue	A waiting area on the AS/400 where host spool
	files are sent until they are released to a
	printer. Print jobs on the output queue are
	processed in the order that they were received in
	the queue.
physical file	A description of how data is actually stored on
	the host. A physical file contains one record
	format and one or more members. Contrast with
	logical file.
System/36 mode	A set of commands and procedures within the
	AS/400 operating system that simulates the
	operating system of the System/36. It allows
	users of the System/36 to work on the AS/400
	without first learning the operating system of
	the AS/400.
Tab format	*TAB. One of four micro file formats supported by
	ETU. Tab files are usually created with data base
	applications. The fields in a TAB formatted file
	are separated by tab characters.
Text format	*TEXT. One of four micro file formats supported
	by ETU. Text files are usually created using word
	processors and must be converted to ASCII, the
	lowest common denominator of microcomputer data,
	before being transferred to the host.
