Graphic Object Content Architecture (GOCA). An
architecture that provides a collection of graphics values
and control structures used to interchange and present
graphics data.
group. A named collection of sequential pages that
form a logical subset of a document.
H
hexadecimal. Pertaining to a numbering system with a

indexing. In ACIF, a process of matching reference
points within a file and creating structured field tags
within the MO:DCA-P document and the separate index
object file.
index object file. A file created by ACIF that contains
Index Element (IEL) structured fields, which identify the
location of the tagged groups in the AFP file. The
indexing tags are contained in the Tagged Logical
Element (TLE) structured fields.
indexing with data values. Adding indexing tags to a
MO:DCA-P document using data that is already in the
document and that is consistently located in the same
place in each group of pages.
indexing with literal values. Adding indexing tags to
a MO:DCA-P document by assigning literal values as
indexing tags, because the document is not organized
such that common data is located consistently
throughout the document.
IOCA. See Image Object Content Architecture
J
JCL. job control language.
JES. Job Entry Subsystem.
job control language (JCL). A language of control
statements used to identify a computer job or describe

information that allows them to be accessed individually.
licensed program. A utility that performs a function for
the user and usually interacts with and relies upon
system control programming or some other
IBM-provided control program. A licensed program
contains logic related to the user's data and is usable or
adaptable to meet specific requirements.
line data. Data prepared for printing on a line printer
such as an IBM 3800 Printing Subsystem Model 1. Line
data is usually characterized by carriage control
characters and table reference characters. Contrast with
MO:DCA-P data.
M

strategic, architected, device-independent data stream
for interchanging documents.
