what is path?

OK, you can always describe things a little more whenever you want to.

You can google for "what is a VSAM PATH". You can look in the VSAM manuals, searching for PATH and looking in the Index. If there is a glossary, that is worth a check as well.

Get a bit of information about it and arrange it so that you can most easily grasp it. Then explain back here what you think it is from your research, or what it is you still don't understand.

Also the thing to be aware of is the possibility of more than one answer. At the moment your question is very (very!) general. You might want to include in your search something about what you need specifically. The VSAM manuals are available on the web.
