Actual and Relative Addressing with Non-VSAM Access Methods

z/OS DFSMS Using Data Sets
SC23-6855-00

With certain access methods, you can access data non-sequentially. You can use addresses to identify block locations. Use two types of addresses to store and retrieve data on DASD volumes: actual addresses and relative addresses. When sequentially processing a multiple volume data set with a BSAM DCB, except for extended-format data sets, you can refer to only records of the current volume.
