The Access Method Services utility program IDCAMS is commonly used to manipulate ("delete and define") VSAM data sets. Custom programs can access VSAM datasets through Data Definition (DD) statements in Job Control Language (JCL), via dynamic allocation or in online regions such as in Customer Information Control System (CICS).
IDCAMS probably has the most functionality of all the utility programs, performing many functions, for both VSAM and non-VSAM files. The following example illustrates the use of IDCAMS to copy a dataset to disk. The dataset has 80-byte records, and the system will choose the block size for the output:
A Generation Data Group [10] (GDG) [11] is a group of non-VSAM data sets [12] that are successive generations of historically-related data [13] stored on an IBM mainframe (running OS or DOS/VSE). [14] A GDG is usually cataloged. [13] An individual member of the GDG collection is called a "Generation Data Set."
IEFBR14 was created because while DD statements can create or delete files easily, they cannot do so without a program to be run due to a certain peculiarity of the Job Management system, which always requires that the Initiator actually execute a program, even if that program is effectively a null statement.

The z/OS Generation Data Group (GDG) is a description of how many generations of a file are to be kept and at what age a generation will be deleted. Whenever a new generation is created, the system checks whether one or more obsolete generations are to be deleted.
Logical Unit 6.2 is an IBM-originated communications protocol specification dating from 1974, and is part of IBM's Systems Network Architecture (SNA). A device-independent SNA protocol, it is used for peer-to-peer communications between two systems, for example, between a computer and a device ( e.g. terminal or printer), or between computers.
Similarly, another popular textbook of the time, Stern and Stern's Structured COBOL Programming, tries to present an implementation-independent explanation of the language, but the appendix giving the full syntax of the language is explicitly for IBM COBOL, with its extensions to the language highlighted.
