subsystem version number
subsystem version number. A 16-bit integer representing the software release version of
a subsystem. The subsystem version number is a field of the subsystem ID. If its value
is null (zero), the subsystem ID refers to any and all versions of the subsystem. See
version number.
subsystem-control token. A parameter token that influences how a subsystem performs a
command. For instance, in the START PATHWAY programmatic command, the
parameter ZPWY-TKN-DEF-PATHWAY is a subsystem-control token because it
determines whether a cold start or a cool start will be performed. Similarly, the SPI
token ZSPI-TKN-ALLOW-TYPE is a subsystem-control token. It determines under
what conditions a subsystem will continue command processing on the next object in a
sequence if errors or warnings occur. See also response-control token.
super ID. The Guardian user ID 255,255. See also group manager; non-super-group user;
super-group user.
super-group user. A user whose Guardian user ID is 255,n (for example 255,13). See also
group manager; non-super-group user; super ID.
supervisor, NetBatch. See NetBatch supervisor.
symbolic name. A name used in programs to refer to a value or a variable. HP provides
definition files that declare symbolic names for values, token codes, token maps,
extensible structures, and other related variables used in management applications.
syntax token. A token whose function is not to provide information for a command or
response but to bracket or group other tokens. Its use is similar to that of a punctuation
symbol. The tokens that begin and end lists (the list tokens) are syntax tokens. See
also parameter token; information token.
TACL. The standard command interpreter for the HP NonStop operation system.
TAL. A high-level, block-structured language that works with NonStop OS hardware to
provide optimal object-program performance.
Tandem Advanced Command Language (TACL). See TACL.
target subvolumes (TSVs). See TSVs.
time attributes. The job attributes AFTER, AT, CALENDAR, EVERY, and WAIT. The
attributes determine the run time of a job.
