as information dividers, such as a line of dashes.
- A 1 to 32 character name assigned to a certificate.
- A short descriptor or keyword that classifies or categorizes information assets in the metadata repository, including categories and terms in the business glossary.
A document that contains information about a worker, such as craft, skill level, hours worked, and certifications. A labor record cannot exist without a corresponding person record. See also person record.

LAN Adapter and Protocol Support (LAPS)
A subsystem that includes the software that manages and controls the network adapter cards, including the device drivers for those cards as well as the protocols that are used to communicate with other adapters on the network.
LAN bridge server (LBS)
In the IBM Token-Ring Network Bridge Program, the server that keeps statistical information about frames that are forwarded between two or more rings (through a bridge). The LBS sends these statistics to the appropriate LAN managers through the LAN reporting mechanism (LRM).
LAN channel station (LCS)
The channel protocol supported by TCP/IP application in mainframe hosts. Each application defines a consecutive pair of subchannels, one for TCP/IP to read from the channel, and one for TCP/IP to write to the channel. The LCS interface allows LAN MAC frame to be transported over the channel, and provides a command interface to activate, deactivate, and query the LAN interfaces.
landscape page presentation
The position of a printed sheet that has its long edges as the top and bottom and its short edges as the sides. See also portrait page presentation.
The position of a printed form that has its long edges as the top and bottom and its short edges as the sides. See also portrait position.
See LAN emulation.
- A container in a pool for the activities and events that take place during process execution. A lane is designated by a user and typically represents departments in a business organization. For example, a Call Center lane would include all activities to be handled by Call Center personnel during process execution.
- A shipping route between two areas or locations.
- A floor location used as a temporary staging area usually for outgoing pallets staged at or near a shipping dock door.
LAN emulation client (LEC)
The access point where devices on the emulated LAN use remote applications and data. A single LAN emulation client may serve as the asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) connection point for many devices or sessions. The LAN emulation client imitates the functions of the LAN protocol, either token-ring or Ethernet, over the ATM network.
LAN emulation configuration server (LECS)
A server that provides configuration services to the clients. The LECS provides the clients with the ATM address of an appropriate LAN emulation server to become part of an emulated LAN. The LECS may also provide some measure of security within the emulated LAN by controlling which clients to recognize and configure.
LAN emulation server (LES)
A network server that provides asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) address resolution and control-related services to its clients. Each LAN emulation server is associated with one LAN emulation domain. The LAN emulation server recognizes the clients that are either connected to or defined in its domain. The LAN emulation server then translates LAN destinations to ATM addresses at the request of the clients. It also provides control services as part of maintaining the LAN environment.
LAN-free data transfer
See LAN-free data movement.
In the AnyNet product family, a function that enables workstations residing in separate LANs to communicate across SNA or IP WANs. The AnyNet LAN Gateway supports both IPX and NetBIOS protocols across WANs. Each LAN attaches to the WAN through a LAN Gateway.
A two character (ISO 639-1) or three letter (ISO 639-2) abbreviation for a language. For example: en
