Hi Friend,

Check in file-aid using the options like

Mainmenu -> utilities -> vsam -> display option

other than file-aid , we can identify diff betn ksds and others at 3.4 as ksds only having the index component .

Hope this will help ...

Thank you,

open 3.4 and give ur dataset name and press Enter. If it is VSAM file then you can see VSAM at the right side of the screen. Then open this file in file-aid (UTILITIES->VSAM) option. Then you can get the exact information.
