Explain the function of the relative record data set.

The relative record data is managed by creating a relative record with the previous datasets. That is relative records are identified and are accessed through a number of records related to the first dataset. It has only one component which is a data component which maintains the set in a linear manner. It is limited only to a fixed number of records. The number of records that can be present in the dataset is based on the record position of data. Both sequential and random access to records is available in this type of dataset. It is ideal for maintaining disk records.
