oating-point numbers).
An asset that is maintained in segments, such as a road, pipeline, or railroad track. Measurements are made along the linear asset to specify work, monitoring, metering, or placement of signs. See also point asset.
A method of approximating data values by assuming that they lie along a straight line. Typically, the two end data points are known. For example, if A is the value at a, and B is the value at b, and a is less than t, and t is less than b, then the value C at t is (from the two-point formula): B - A divided by b - a, multiplied by t - D, added to A.
In WebSphere MQ on UNIX and Linux systems, and WebSphere MQ for Windows, the process of keeping restart data in a sequence of files. New files are added to the sequence as necessary. The space in which the data is written is not reused. See also circular logging.
Any procedure not beginning with a REXX comment. A linear procedure can contain QMF commands, comments, blank lines, RUN commands, and substitution variables. See also procedure with logic.
linear programming (LP)
A technique for the optimization of a linear function subject to linear constraints over decision variables. In LP, the model of a problem is expressed through numeric variables combined with linear constraints and governed by a linear objective function and by bounds on the variables.
A statistical technique for estimating a linear model for a continuous (numeric) output field. Linear models predict a continuous target based on linear relationships between the target and one or more predictors. See also regression.
linear regression model
A modeling algorithm that assumes that the relationship between the input and the output for the model is of a particular, simple form. The model fits the best line through linear regression and generates a linear mapping between the input variables and each output variable.

line clause template
The basis of a line clause that defines its line definition, fields, and other properties. See also template.
line control character
See transmission control character.
line control discipline
See link protocol.
line counter specifications
In RPG, a coding sheet on which the programmer indicates or overrides the system defaults for the form length and for the number of lines to print on a page. Line counter specifications can be used for each printer file in a program.
- Application data that is prepared for printing, without any data placement or presentation information. See also record format line data, traditional line data.
- Data prepared for printing on a line printer. Line data can contain carriage-control characters and table-reference characters (TRC) for spacing and font selections.
Any of a class of printers that accept one line of text at a time. See also page device.
- The asynchronous communications user interface for a TTY, which includes the POSIX and Berkeley line disciplines as well as the compatibility mode of Version 2 of the AIX operating system.
- A layer in the terminal subsystem of Unix.
The movement of the print or display position to the corresponding position on the next line. See also space.
- Specifications that describe how text and variable data are formatted into lines suitable for displaying at a terminal or printing.
- See line descriptor.
line-format data stream
A data stream in which print output consists of consecutive lines of text intended for printing one line at a time in sequence. The data stream is usually characterized by carriage control characters and table reference characters.
line-format print file
See line-format print data file.
See coordinate graphic.
- A specific circuit or equipment charge within an invoice. An invoice consolidates the charges against all the line items that are associated with a particular account.
- A queued task or service that is pending completion.
- An item, material, service, or tool that is named on a contract, purchase requisition, purchase order, or invoice.
line item set
A set of order items (or portions of order items when the qua
