DFSMSdfp Access Methods z/OS DFSMS Introduction SC23-6851-00 |
|||||||||||||||||||
DFSMSdfp provides several access methods for formatting and accessing data. An access method defines the organization of the data in a data set and the technique by which the data is stored and retrieved. DFSMSdfp access methods have their own data set structures to organize data, macro instructions to process data sets, and utility programs to manipulate data sets. Table 1 describes the access methods that DFSMSdfp uses.
DFSMS also supports the basic direct access method (BDAM) for coexistence with previous operating systems. Related reading:
