handled as a integer numeric literal.
release version update (RVU). A collection of compatible revisions of NonStop operating
system software products, identified by an RVU ID, and shipped and supported as a
unit. An RVU consists of the object modules, supporting files, and documentation for
the product revisions. An RVU also includes a set of documentation for the overall
RVU.
requester. A client that runs only in the Guardian environment by using an interface defined
by HP.
reserved word. A COBOL word that you cannot use for a user-defined word or a system
name in a source program.

than COBOL.
run-time environment. The services provided by run-time library routines and data objects
(data blocks and pointers) to a program at run-time.
run-time library. A collection of routines that supports requests for I-O and heap
management, math and string functions, exception handling, and error reporting.
run-time routine. A subprogram, supplied as part of the COBOL product, which performs
some function needed in the course of executing a statement in the COBOL language
and which the object code produced by the COBOL compiler automatically calls when
needed.
run unit. A set of one or more object programs in the same object file.
RVU. See release version update (RVU).
Saved Message Utility (SMU). A set of utility routines, available to COBOL or FORTRAN
programs, that can be used to examine and modify portions of the initial process-
