A term is a word or group of words that has a particular meaning. The terms are listed alphabetically, using the letter-by-letter method. Only alphabetic and numerical characters are used to determine the sequence; special characters and spaces between words are ignored.
This glossary does not include all terms previously established for operating systems, programming languages, and other products. If you do not find the term you are looking for, refer to the Master Index or the IBM Dictionary of Computing.
