Answer / sumesh
A PDS or Partitioned Data Set is a dataset containing
multiple members, each of which holds a separate sub-data
set, similar to a directory in other types of file systems.
This type of dataset is often used to hold executable
programs (load modules), source program libraries
(especially Assembler macro definitions). A PDS is most
somewhat analogous to a Zip file on microcomputers, except
the files stored in a PDS are not compressed.
The Partitioned Data Set can only allocate on a single
volume with the maximum size of 65536 tracks.
Besides members, a PDS consists also of their directory.
Each member can be accessed directly using the directory
structure. Once a member is located, the data stored in
that member is handled in the same manner as a PS
(sequential) data set.

As in DIRECTORY we can store files as well as another
DIRECTORY which includes other files but PDS includes only
mebers not another PDS inside it.

I have TSO dataset profile set to automatic recovery on. After the system disconnects unexpectedly, when I log back on to TSO, I receive an error every time I go into edit with 'automatic recovery' in the title. The options are 1.) enter 2.) end 3.) defer 4.) cancel. No matter which option I choose, I am thrown back into the 'automatic recovery' screen the next time I go into edit on any dataset. How do I get the message to go away?
