I'd like to state that even after 30 years of MVS, I still use the term "file" when referring to mainframe datasets. In fact, if you look at the IBM COBOL manual, you will see "File Organization", not "Dataset Organization"; PL/I refers to "FILE Attributes", etc. And I think I can safely say I have never seen a DD NULLDATASET command ;-))
