What is basic difference between directory and pds in ibm mainframe?
A PDS or Partitioned Data Set is a dataset containing multiple members, each of which holds a separate sub-data set, similar to a directory in other types of file systems.
This type of dataset is often used to hold executable programs (load modules), source program libraries (especially Assembler macro definitions). A PDS is most somewhat analogous to a Zip file on microcomputers, except the files stored in a PDS are not compressed.
The Partitioned Data Set can only allocate on a single volume with the maximum size of 65536 tracks.
Besides members, a PDS consists also of their directory.
Each member can be accessed directly using the directory structure. Once a member is located, the data stored in that member is handled in the same manner as a PS (sequential) data set.
how to define a directory and what is the structure and definition for the same?
As in DIRECTORY we can store files as well as another DIRECTORY which includes other files but PDS includes only mebers not another PDS inside it.
