key
field
The
second
(optional)
field
of
a
count
key
data
record.
The
key
length
is
specified
in
the
count
field.
The
key
length
determines
the
field
length.
The
program
writes
the
data
in
the
key
field
and
uses
the
key
field
to
identify
or
locate
a
given
record.
The
subsystem
does
not
use
the
key
field.

and
make
available
the
cache
space
that
contains
the
least-recently
used
data.

licensed
machine
code
(LMC)
Microcode
that
IBM
does
not
sell
as
part
of
a
machine,
but
licenses
to
the
customer.
LMC
is
implemented
in
a
part
of
storage
that
is
not
addressable
by
user
programs.
Some
IBM
products
use
it
to
implement
functions
as
an
alternate
to
hard-wired
circuitry.

light-emitting
diode
(LED)
A
semiconductor
chip
that
gives
off
visible
or
infrared
light
when
activated.
link
address
On
an
ESCON
interface,
the
portion
of
a
source
or
destination
address
in
a
frame
that
ESCON
uses
to
route
a
frame
through
an
ESCON
director.
ESCON
associates
the
link
address
with
a
specific
switch
port
that
is
on
the
ESCON
director.
Equivalently,
it
associates
the
link
address
with
the
channel
subsystem
or
control
unit
link-level
functions
that
are
attached
to
the
switch
port.
link-level
facility
The
ESCON
hardware
and
logical
functions
of
a
control
unit
or
channel
subsystem
that
allow
communication
over
an
ESCON
write
interface
and
an
ESCON
read
interface.
local

A
computer
network
located
on
a
user’s
premises
within
a
limited
geographic
area.
