Virtual Storage Access Method (VSAM) [1] is an IBM direct-access storage device (DASD) file storage access method, first used in the OS/VS1, OS/VS2 Release 1 (SVS) and Release 2 (MVS) operating systems, later used throughout the Multiple Virtual Storage (MVS) architecture and now in z/OS.
Basic Direct Access Method, or BDAM is an access method for IBM's OS/360 and successors computer operating systems on System/360 and later mainframes. BDAM "consists of routines used in retrieving data from, and storing data onto, direct access devices." [1]: p.5 BDAM is available on OS/360, OS/VS2, MVS, z/OS, and related high-end operating ...
A relative record data set (RRDS) is a type of data set organization used by IBM's VSAM computer data storage system. [1]: 5 Records are accessed based on their ordinal position in the file (relative record number, RRN). [1]: 29 For example, the desired record to be accessed might be the 42nd record in the file out of 999 total.
An entry-sequenced data set (ESDS) is a type of data set used by IBM's VSAM computer data storage system. [1]: 5 Records are accessed based on their sequential order, that is, the order in which they were written to the file; which means that accessing a particular record involves searching all the records sequentially until it is located, or by using a relative physical address (Relative byte ...
In the context of IBM mainframe computers in the S/360 line, a data set (IBM preferred) or dataset is a computer file having a record organization.Use of this term began with, e.g., DOS/360, OS/360, and is still used by their successors, including the current z/OS.

A linear data set (LDS) is a type of data set organization used by IBM's VSAM computer data storage system. [1]: 5 The LDS has a control interval size of 4096 bytes to 32768 bytes [2] in increments of 4096.
