In the context of [[IBM]] [[mainframe computer]]s in the [[S/360]] line, a '''data set''' (IBM preferred) or '''dataset''' is a [[computer file]] having a [[record-oriented file|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]]. Documentation for these systems historically preferred this term rather than ''[[computer file|file]]''.
