    In computer science, the general meaning of input is to provide or give something to the computer, in other words, when a computer or device is receiving a command or signal from outer sources, the event is referred to as input to the device. Some computer devices can also be categorized as input devices, [1] because devices are used to send ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_bus

    In computer architecture, a control bus is part of the system bus and is used by CPUs for communicating with other devices within the computer. While the address bus carries the information about the device with which the CPU is communicating and the data bus carries the actual data being processed, the control bus carries commands from the CPU and returns status signals from the devices.

    An IOCS program must create a control block for each file, specifying information unique to the file. For 7070 IOCS these are entries in the File Specification Table for tape files, each of which is generated by a DTF [7]: 19–26 [15]: 26–28 statement, or separate control blocks generated by DDF [8]: 31–37 [15]: 29–30 or DUF [7]: 44–47 [15]: 31–33 statements.
