…02…TRANSACTION Is a process consisting of a limited number of sequentially performed
single events. A transaction is closely related to a data entity which
is created or processed during performance of the transaction.
CAMPS functions are characterized by the performance of transactions
which may be initiated by the operators, the system itself or by events
on external communication channel. Typical CAMPS
transactions are: -Initial Creation of a message. -Release to external
channels of a message. - Processing of a message
received from external channels.
…02… CAMPS Transactions are divided in 2 types: -Internal transactions
are those initiated by operators. -External Transactions are those initiated by
events on external channels.
…02…PAGE -a) A unit of division of an ACP127 message consisting of 20 lines of information. When
formatting such a message blank lines are inserted (and transmitted) at the end of each page.
-b) A unit of division of output on a hard copy printer. When printing
classified information, classification information is printed at the top and bottom of each
page. -c) The information contained in a single display on a VDU screen.
…02…INTERACTION A part of a conversation between a terminal user and the computer comprising
the input of a single command or data string and including all actions
taken by the computer up to and including transmission of the final response
to the terminal.
…02…CHARACTER -a) A printed symbol such as a letter, figure or punctuation sign, and,

formats are prescribed for: -Interactive procedures:
formats defines each step of the procedure and the content and
layout of information exchanged in the steps. (steps = interactions).
…02… -Layout of VDU screen images: formats defines content and layout of images presented to
operators by the system.
…02… -Layout of Printouts: formats defines content and layout of texts to be printed.
…02… -Layout of Messages to be sent or received on external channels.
…02…OPERATOR is a general term describing any person using the facilities of the system.
