<p><b>New page</b></p><div>A '''record''' is a block (usually fixed-length) of associated data, saved on [[mass storage]] (e.g. [[magnetic tape]], or in a [[file]]). A 'data set' would thus be formed of an [[array]] of identical (in [[format]], but not content) records.<br />
<br />
Older [[operating system]]s often supported 'record-structured' [[input/output|I/O]] (as opposed to the arbitrary storage access now provided by [[UNIX]] and descendant systems, which allow the user to build their own record-based data storage).<br />
