loading
loading. The operation of mapping an object file into the memory of a process.
local name. A name that is not global, and therefore, can be referenced only by the
program that declares it. Compare to global name.
logical page. A conceptual page of a report consisting of a top margin area, a body
(including a footing area), and a bottom margin; all governed by the LINAGE clause of
the file description entry.
logical operator. Any of these reserved words:
•
AND (logical connector)
•
OR (logical connector)
•
NOT (logical negation)
logical record. The most inclusive data item, either an elementary item or data structure
that has a level number of 01; in the File Section, the unit of data read from, written to
or removed from a file by a single READ, WRITE, REWRITE, or DELETE statement.
low PIN. A process identification number (PIN) that ranges from 0 through 254. Compare to
high PIN.
main program. The first program to execute when a run unit is run. The main program
determines the run-time environment for a program.
man page. See reference page.
map. A tabular representation of the elements of a program.
merge file. A collection of records for a process to merge during execution of a MERGE
statement; a file declared in the sort-merge file description entry, and created and used
only by the merge function.
migrate. To take a source program that was compiled with one compiler and recompile it
with another compiler so that the resulting object program
runs on another platform.
MIPS RISC instructions. Register-oriented 32-bit machine instructions in the MIPS-1 RISC
instruction set that are native to and directly executed on TNS/R systems. MIPS RISC
instructions do not execute on TNS systems and TNS/E systems. Compare to TNS
instructions and Intel® Itanium® instructions.
Accelerator-generated MIPS RISC instructions are produced by accelerating TNS
object code. Native-compiled MIPS RISC instructions are produced by compiling
source code with a TNS/R native compiler.
misaligned. In TNS mode and accelerated mode, an erroneous address that is odd-byte
aligned. In native mode, an inefficient address that is not aligned.
