c


An Application program which acts as an interface between the Computer system and Mainframe system. It
receives the information from PC as ASCII format and converts them into EBCDIC and vice versa.


A computer system which simulates EBCDIC as the primary collating sequence to establish the run time
environment to install all mainframe products.


Job is a collection of one or more programs submitted to mainframe as a single unit.

 
Sharing the execution process by interconnecting more than one microprocessor using tightly or loosely couples
technology is called as Multi Processing.

 
 

Running more than one application / task concurrently / simultaneously is called as parallel processing.


 

Executing more than one thread (part of a task) parallely using a single processor is called multithreading.


 
Switching the processor between two ore more processes by sharing the CPU Time is called as timesharing.

 
The client machine of a mainframe is called as a terminal which contains a Monitor and Keyboard with a connector.
(Ex: 3270)


The amount of data transferred from Hard Disk to RAM in a single processor fetch. (Usually 4KB or 32KB)

c
 
 
An amount of area in hard disk that system uses as it were RAM.
cc


MVS is a Virtual Storage technology in which RAM is divided in slots, where each slot is shared by one processor
to make the entire virtual memory available to all users independent of others.

c


 
A common run time environment implemented by IBM to communicate between programs written in different
languages. using LE, you can call a C++ function from a COBOL program.
c

 
A Job scheduling environment in which each job is executed one by one depending on the assigned priority.
c

 
Executing more than one jobs simultaneously by time sharing or multiprocessing is called as online processing.
c
  
  
A computer programming technique which follows top down design approach with block oriented structures.
c
  
  
A computer programming technique in which the program is divided into modules like function or subroutine or
procedure or subprograms.
c

 
  
A computer programming technique in which the algorithm is implemented based on the objects instead of
variable.
c

An Interactive menu driven software used in mainframe environment to choose other applications and to type, edit
& submit your programs.
c
  
 
Executing the programs based on a numeric value assigned by the programmer / system administrator.



A temporary storage area used to hold the date to reduce the CPU search & fetch time.
