Linear Data Set
A Linear DataSet (LDS) is a type of data set organization used by the VSAM computer data storage system.
This data set allows for physical addressing, which allows it to be used by systems such as that Operating systems. The benefit of this is that systems such as the OS can access multiple disk spindles and view it as a single storage implementation. The limitations of this, though, is that this does not make this particularly useful to higher level abstraction levels.
