State the differences between vsam and non-vsam files?..

Answer / Kumar Swasatyan

VSAM (Virtual Storage Access Method) is a method for organizing data on disk, while Non-VSAM refers to any other method such as sequential or indexed files. VSAM offers features like automatic storage management, multiple access methods, and parallel I/O operations. Non-VSAM files are simpler and easier to understand but offer less flexibility and efficiency in handling large volumes of data.
