level-1 spooling.
level-1 spooling. A method of spooling files in a HP NonStop environment. With level-1
spooling, a file uses default spooling parameters. The program writes records to a
spooler collector by calling standard file system procedures such as WRITE.
level-2 spooling. A method of spooling files in a HP NonStop environment. With level-2
spooling, the program specifies spooling parameters for the file and writes records to a
spooler collector by using standard file system procedures such as WRITE.
level-3 spooling. A method of spooling files in a HP NonStop environment. With level-3
spooling the program specifies spooling parameters, spooler data is buffered, and the
program writes records to a spooler collector by using spooler interface procedures.

local data. Data that you declare within a procedure.
low PIN. A process identification number (PIN) in the range 0 through 254. Contrast with
high PIN.
lower 32K-word area. The lower half of the user data segment.
main routine. The first routine to execute when a program is run. The main routine
determines the run-time environment for a program. In FORTRAN, a routine that does
not begin with a SUBROUTINE or FUNCTION statement is a main routine. A main
routine can optionally begin with a PROGRAM statement. You can use a PROGRAM
statement to assign a name to the main program.
mixed-language program. A program that contains routines written in different HP-defined
programming languages.
node name. A D-series term that identifies the name of a set of processors on a network. A
node name always begins with a backslash character. A node name in a D-series
system serves the same purpose as a system name in a C-series system.
object file. A file generated by a compiler or binder that contains machine instructions and
other information needed to construct the executable code spaces and initial data for a
process. An object file might be a complete program that is ready for immediate
execution, or it might require binding with other object files before execution.
own data block. A data block that contains the data declared in a FORTRAN subprogram
that executes a SAVE statement.
PARAM command. A TACL command with which you associate an ASCII value with a
parameter name.
PIN. See process identification number (PIN).
primary data space. The area of the user data segment in which pointers and directly
addressed variables are located.
