Explain the difference between a physical bms mapset and a logical bms mapset?..

Answer / Bharat Singh

A Physical BMS (Binding Management System) Mapset is a set of maps used to physically allocate storage for data in the system. It defines the layout of data records on disk. A Logical BMS Mapset, however, contains maps that define how data should be presented and processed, but not where it is stored. The physical location of the data is determined by another method.
