in going, gone, or went.
A technique for compressing data. This technique replaces some character strings, which occur repeatedly within the data, with codes. The encoded character strings are then kept in a common dictionary, which is created as the data is being sent.

less than truckload carrier (LTL carrier)
A trucking operation where the customer pays for part of the truckload. See also full truckload carrier.
- The version of a software application program.
- A set of entities or members that form one section of a hierarchy in a dimension and represent the same type of object. For example, a geographical dimension might contain levels for region, state, and city. See also recursive level.
- A logical state of a keyboard providing access to a collection of graphic characters or elements of graphic characters. Usually these graphic characters or elements of graphic characters logically belong together, such as the lower case, upper case, and alternate case of letters. In certain cases the level selected may also affect function keys (see ISO/IEC 9995-1). See also group, shift.
- A set of one or more related attributes that work together as one logical step in a hierarchy. Attributes can function in one or more roles in a level.
- In a database, the successive vertical dependencies in a hierarchical structure.
- See physical level.
- A sorting comparison in a multilevel sorting algorithm that considers only the base characters, such as the difference between A and B. Accents, punctuation, and case differences are typically ignored. See also alphanumeric weight, level 4, level n.
level 2 (L2)
A sorting comparison in a multilevel sorting algorithm that considers only the accents in characters, such as the difference between a and à. Case differences and punctuation are typically ignored. See also diacritical weight, level 4, level n.
Level-2 managed system
An IBM or non-IBM server, desktop computer, workstation, or mobile computer that has IBM Director Agent installed. The function of a Level-2 managed system varies depending on the operating system and hardware.
- A sorting comparison in a multilevel sorting algorithm that considers only the case in characters, such as the difference between a and A. Punctuation is typically ignored. See also case weight, level 4, level n.
- See packet level.
A specific piece of information stored about each member of a level. For example, the color attribute could be used to store the color of a product. Some attributes can have special significance, such as when the attribute contains the business key for the member.
A function that compares the record level identifiers of a file to be opened with the file description that is part of a compiled program to determine if the record format for the file changed since the program was compiled.
A function that must be performed but that needs to be performed by only one processing unit. Level functions include backing up the control data sets (CDSs), backing up migrated data sets, deleting expired dump copies, moving backup versions from level 1 volumes to backup volumes, migration cleanup, and level-1-to-level-2 migration. See also demotion, promotion.
- In COBOL, two alphabetic characters (FD or SD) that identify the type of file description entry.
- In RPG, two characters (L0 through L9 and LR) that control calculation and output processing during total time.
level n (Ln)
A sorting comparison in a multilevel sorting algorithm that considers only format characters or other tie-breaking characters that are not base letters, case, accents, or punctuation. See also level 1, level 2, level 3, level 4.
In COBOL, a numeric character (1 through 9) or a 2-character set (01 through 49, 66, 77, 88) that begins a data description entry and establishes its level in a data hierarchy. Level-numbers 66, 77, and 88 identify special properties of a data description entry.
