The Access Method Services utility program IDCAMS is commonly used to manipulate ("delete and define") VSAM data sets. Custom programs can access VSAM datasets through Data Definition (DD) statements in Job Control Language (JCL), via dynamic allocation or in online regions such as in Customer Information Control System (CICS).
IDCAMS ("Access Method Services") generates and modifies Virtual Storage Access Method (VSAM) and Non-VSAM datasets. IDCAMS was introduced along with VSAM in OS/VS; the "Access Method" reference derives from the initial "VSAM replaces all other access methods" mindset of OS/VS. IDCAMS probably has the most functionality of all the utility ...
Job Control Language (JCL) is a scripting language used on IBM mainframe operating systems to instruct the system on how to run a batch job or start a subsystem. [1] The purpose of JCL is to say which programs to run, using which files or devices [2] for input or output, and at times to also indicate under what conditions to skip a step.
DFEF offers a new type of VSAM catalog, but had reliability problems that were only resolved in DFP. 5740-AM3 Sequential Access Method Extended (SAM-E) SAM-E improves the performance of BPAM, BSAM and QSAM on direct access storage devices. 5740-AM8 Access Method Services Cryptographic Option 5748-UT2 Offline 3800 Utility
A Generation Data Group [10] (GDG) [11] is a group of non-VSAM data sets [12] that are successive generations of historically-related data [13] stored on an IBM mainframe (running OS or DOS/VSE). [14] A GDG is usually cataloged. [13] An individual member of the GDG collection is called a "Generation Data Set."
