Hi,

I was looking for information on the storage features in a PDS. Could someone please refer to me a reference material, which could essentially address the following topics?

- The "way" the different versions of a member are stored in the PDS.
- Is there a way to access any desired version of a particular member [except the latest] in a PDS?
- What happens when we run a COMPRESS operation on a PDS?
- What role does the parameter "Directory Block" play in storage of the members of a PDS.

Siddheart22,

Please search before posting. Check the 7th post in this topic(posted by me) which discusses about the PDS structure in detail.

Hope this helps...
