If you were familiar with MVS when it was still marketed as MVS (MVS/SP, MVS/XA, MVS/ESA), then you are probably aware that to actually have a functional MVS system you had to have many additional essential products installed along with MVS: JES2/3, VTAM, Assembler, DFP, TSO, ISPF, RACF, DFDSS

Lindy, You can access a VSAM Linear dataset with VSAM. All a linear dataset really consists of is 4K blocks of unformatted data. The application reading the data would have to know how to handle the pages and do the de-blocking themselves. For instance, DB2 (since DB2 2.2 I believe) has used LDS
