Hi,
I don't think you can unless you have naming standards for VSAM files.
A dataset name is just a dataset name.

Hello Sanjay and welcome to the forums,

With any degree of confidence, you cannot. There is no "magic bullet" that would identify vsam (or non-vsam files).
Several places i've been actually have the letters vsam in non-vsam dataset names. These are sometimes backups, conversion files, cross-system transfer files, etc. |
