Data set (IBM mainframe): Difference between revisions

Deleted comparisons that were unnecesary (at best) and sometimes incorrect. For example, "found in smaller computers such as Unix,"
delete cat IBM storage devices (this is not hardware). add cat Computer data
Line 25:
PDS/E file structure is similar to PDS files and is used to store the same types of data. However, PDS/E files have a better directory structure which does not require pre-allocation of directory blocks when the PDS/E is defined (and therefore does not run out of directory blocks if not enough were specified). Also, PDS/E stores members in such a way that no compression is needed to reclaim dead space. PDS/E files can only reside on disk in order to use the directory structure to access individual members. PDS/E files are also referred to as Libraries.
