rotation. The number of degrees a graphic character
is turned relative to the page coordinates.
S
segment. Synonym for page segment.
sheet. A division of the physical medium on which
data is presented. The IPDS architecture defines 4
types of sheet: cut-sheet forms, continuous forms,
envelopes, and computer output on microfilm. Each
sheet has a front side and a back side. Some types of
media consist of multiple sheets; for example, a roll of
continuous forms can be divided at the perforations into
rectangular sheets. Each sheet usually has carrier or
tractor-feed strips, also. Microfilm is another example of
a medium comprising multiple sheets, whereas an
envelope has only one sheet. Synonymous with form.
simplex printing. Printing on only one side of the
paper. Contrast with duplex printing.
single-byte coded font. A font in which the characters
are defined by a one-byte code point. A single-byte
coded font contains only one coded font section.
Contrast with double-byte coded font.
spooled file. A file created by an application program
that contains the actual information to be printed and
some of the data that controls the format of the printing.
Spooled files can contain MO:DCA-P data, line data, or
a combination of MO:DCA-P and line data.
structured field. A self-identifying, variable-length,
bounded record that can have a content portion that
provides control information, data, or both.
syntax. The rules and keywords that govern the use of
a programming language.
T
table reference characters (TRC). An optional control
character in an input record that identifies the font with
which the record is to be printed. The table reference
character corresponds to a font number defined in a
page definition font list or to the order of font names
listed in the CHARS parameter in the JCL.
tag. A type of structured field used for indexing in an
AFP document. Tags associate an index attribute -
value pair with a specific page or group of pages in a

columns, or other shapes.
token ring. A network configuration in which tokens
are passed in a circuit from node to node. A node that is
ready to send can capture the token and insert data for
transmission.
trace. A record of the execution of a computer
program. It exhibits the sequences in which the
instructions were executed. (A)
TRC. See table reference character.
trigger. Data values for which CRTAFPDTA searches,
to delineate the beginning of a new group of pages. The
first trigger is then the anchor point from which
CRTAFPDTA locates the defined index values. See
anchor point.
U
upload. (1) To transfer programs or data from a
connected device, typically a personal computer, to a
computer with greater resources. (T) (2) To transfer
data from a device, such as a workstation or a
microcomputer, to a computer. Contrast with download.
V
Viewer. See AFP Workbench Viewer.
X
X-axis. In printing, an axis perpendicular to the
direction in which the paper moves through the printer.
See also Y-axis.
X-extent. A measurement along the X-axis.
Y
Y-axis. In printing, an axis parallel to the direction in
which the paper moves through the printer. See also
X-axis.
Y-extent. A measurement along the Y-axis.
