1.1About VSAM

Virtual Storage Access Method (VSAM) is one of several access methods that defines the technique by which data is stored and retrieved. It is a GET/PUT interface used to transfer data from a direct-access storage device (DASD) to an application program. VSAM does not support data stored on tape.

VSAM stores data as a collection of data sets. IBM uses a collection of three data-set organizations—sequential, indexed, and direct-access, together with the access methods and utilities used on mainframe operating systems.

VSAM data sets must be cataloged in an integrated catalog facility (ICF) structure. Records are arranged by an index key or by relative-byte addressing. VSAM uses direct or sequential processing of fixed and variable-length records stored on a DASD.

VSAM also provides the following features:

ƒAllows you to organize and access data (record management).
