Block check is the part of the error control procedure that is used for determining that a block of data is structured according to given rules.
Block length is a measure of the size of a block, usually specified in units such as records, words, computer words, or characters.
Block transfer is the process, initiated by a single action, of transferring one or more blocks of data.
Blocking factor, also called grouping factor, is the number of records in a block. The number is computed by dividing the size of the block by the size of each record contained therein.
