(1) A character string whose value is defined by the characters themselves. For example, the numeric constant 7 has the value 7, and the character constant 'CHARACTERS' has the value CHARACTERS.<br />(2) A symbol or a quantity in a source programme that is itself data, rather than a reference to data.<br />(3) In programming languages, a unit that directly represents a value. For example, 14 represents the integer 14.
Industry:Software
(1) A memory area that is used by a programme to hold information.<br />(2) A system object used to communicate data, such as CL variable values between the programmes within a job and between jobs. The system-recognized identifier for the data area is *DTAARA.<br />(3) An area of a predefined length and format on a panel in which data can be entered or displayed. A field can consist of one or more data areas.

(1) A character such as the dollar sign ($) used to identify monetary values.<br />(2) In COBOL, the character defined by the CURRENCY SIGN clause in the SPECIAL-NAMES paragraph. If no CURRENCY SIGN clause is present in a COBOL source program, the currency symbol is identical to the currency sign.
Industry:Software
(1) A message destination logically associated with a physical terminal or user. An LTERM is represented by a CNT control block. See also remote logical terminal.<br />(2) In SWIFT, the logical entity through which users send and receive SWIFT messages. A logical terminal is identified by its LT name.

(1) A character that is printed one-half line below the normal printing line. For example, the number 2 in the chemical formula for water, H 2 O, is a subscript. See also superscript.<br />(2) In COBOL, a positive number or variable whose value refers to a particular item in a table.<br />(3) One or more expressions, each enclosed in brackets, that follow an array name.

Industry:Software
(1) A characteristic of an object that controls which programmes can access the object. See also system domain object, user domain object.<br />(2) A set of systems that allocate shared network resources within a single logical system.<br />(3) In communications, the network resources under control of a particular system services control point (SSCP).<br />(4) In TCP/IP, a named set of hosts. Each domain has authority for the machines within that domain, but not for machines in other domains.<br />(5) In a database, the set of valid values for an attribute.<br />(6) A logical grouping of resources in a network for the purpose of common management and administration.<br />(7) In the Internet, a part of a naming hierarchy in which the domain name consists of a sequence of names (labels) separated by periods (dots).<br />(8) A part of a network that is administered as a unit with a common protocol.<br />(9) A functionally isolated area of the CICS system that owns resources to which it has sole access and that communicates with other parts of CICS through strictly defined interfaces called gates.
