Relative

In the relative data set organization, numbered records are placed in a position relative to each other. The records are numbered in succession, beginning with one. A relative data set must reside on a direct-access device. A key that specifies the record number identifies the record and allows direct retrieval, replacement, addition, and deletion of records. Sequential processing is also allowed.
