DATAFILE

Data file

A data file is a computer file which stores data to use by a computer application or system. It generally does not refer to files that contain instructions or code to be executed, or to files which define the operation or structure of an application or system ; but specifically to information used as input, or written as output by some other software program. This is especially helpful when debugging a program.
