A data set with regional organization contains fixed-length records that do not have recorded keys. Each region in the data set contains only one record; therefore, each region number corresponds to a relative record within the data set (that is, region numbers start with 0 at the beginning of the data set).

For information about how you use regional data sets, see Defining and using regional data sets.
