How to know the given file is KSDS or ESDS without using File-aid or ListCAT? |

find the jcl that allocated the file.
why would you not want to use a utility whose sole purpose is to inform you of the files' attributes.
Is this another silly question like how to open a file without opening it? |

One has an index component and the other does not.
Other than relying on naming conventions, I don't see how you could.... |

Hard way -
Write a program (say COBOL) and you will come to know. |

Hi All,
Do we have the Key and data component for the ESDS as well??
As far as i know only KSDS has the two components.
So if we do a TSO option 3.4, we can check the type vsam file.
I think the problem will be to differentiate RRDS and ESDS. |
