Explain the device independent method to indicate where a record is stored?

Question Posted / kailash das


Explain the device independent method to indicate where a record is stored?..

Answer / Suredh Kumar

In VSAM, the Sequential (SE) and Indexed (IS) organizational formats use relative record addressing. This allows records to be stored in any available space on any device without depending on specific physical devices. The position of a record within a dataset is defined using Record Keys.
