DMS stood for dasd management system vendor was sterling software. One of the items that it did was an option to change the allocation from cylinder to tracks. So instead of a cyl the dataset was reduced to say 1 track. Ther was also an option to go from 1 track to 1 cyl. The package was quite versatile. I just got off the phone with a person who had a lot to say about the product and he told me that the product is no longer available. Supposedly the author works for CA now days.
I liked the product but found it let's say a little bit to versitile, By that I meant it allowed to many excetions and it ran on exceptions rue which allowed for a nightmare in bookkeeping.
