2. 10/16/2015 4 ER/CORP/CRS/OS02/003-4 VSAM DATASETS (virtual storage access method) These are the logical dataset for storing records and are known as clusters. The term cluster is used because there are two components for many VSAM datasets that are : Index component - which contains the index Data component - which contains the actual data

3. 10/16/2015 5 ER/CORP/CRS/OS02/003-4 VSAM DATASETS (virtual storage access method) VSAM is a High performance access method and data set Organization. Provides data security and Integrity. Shares Buffers and control blocks among VSAM data sets.

4. 10/16/2015 6 ER/CORP/CRS/OS02/003-4 VSAM DATASETS (virtual storage access method) TYPES OF VSAM Data sets. Key sequenced Datasets. Entry sequence Data sets. Relative record data sets. Linear Data sets.

5. 10/16/2015 7 ER/CORP/CRS/OS02/003-4 VSAM DATASETS (virtual storage access method) Key Sequence Data sets. Records are places in an ascending order. The key must be unique. The position of the key should be same in all records. Records can be retrieved either Randomly or Sequentially.

6. 10/16/2015 8 ER/CORP/CRS/OS02/003-4 VSAM DATASETS (virtual storage access method) Entry Sequence Data sets. Records are either placed or accessed in the order of their entry. Records are sequentially accessed or by RBA concept. ( RBA – Relative Byte address )

7. 10/16/2015 9 ER/CORP/CRS/OS02/003-4 VSAM DATASETS Relative Record Data sets. ( RRDS ) Pre defined slots to accommodate the data. Each slot carries a Relative record number ( RRN ) with respect to the first record. Records are read with the help of the RRN. Records are sequentially accessed or by RBA concept. ( RBA – Relative Byte address )

8. 10/16/2015 10 ER/CORP/CRS/OS02/003-4 VSAM DATASETS (KSDS - Key Sequenced Dataset) Vsam stores records in the data component in units called control intervals(CI) Record 1Record 2Record 3Free space Unused Space Control Field CISZ ( CONTROL INTERVAL SIZE)

22. 10/16/2015 24 ER/CORP/CRS/OS02/003-4 SMS (Storage Management Subsystem) SMS is an optional feature of MVS. It is a tool that is used to improve the management of available disk space. Data sets created under SMS are known as SMS managed datasets. PDS are known as PDSE when converted to SMS managed datasets can be done by IEBCOPY. Under SMS while creating a dataset you need to specify : - STORCLAS instead of UNIT - DATACLAS instead of DCB& SPACE - MGMTCLAS for migration of datasets.

23. 10/16/2015 25 ER/CORP/CRS/OS02/003-4 SMS (Storage Management Subsystem) Generally, your existing JCL will continue to execute correctly. SMS allows the installation to benefit from the data class, management class, and storage class constructs without changing existing JCL. The installation-written ACS routines can be designed to filter existing parameters on the DD statement and select appropriate constructs for the data set.
