Define esds files

It will only be updated. Hence, thought of ESDS. This single record file situation is a first for us. Our CICS people are fine either way and left it for us to decide. I've worked where there have been ESDS single-record control-files.

I wasn't involved in the set-up, they were working long before I arrived, but they were unproblematic. There will be slightly less memory usage.

These days, that amount will probably not matter. In ESDS, records are stored in the same order as to how they were first loaded into the data set sequentially. Inserting a new record always appends immediately after the last record in the ESDS dataset.

ESDS records can be fixed-length or variable-length. ESDS dataset only contains data components and no index component. We can't delete the existing records and can't alter the record length as well. However, updating the record is possible when there is no length change or change in record position. A standard RBA is an unsigned bit number. Verify the ESDS in 3.
