Boris, Thanks for the valuable information. One last question. With the problem I encountered, since the dataset was restored from a physical DFDSS backup, only the DATA component was restored. I tried the LISTCAT of the .DATA component and since there was no cluster the LISTCAT was unsuccessful. In this case, how would I be able to tell what type of VSAM dsn it is?

Any suggestions? Examine the output of LISTCAT ENT(/) ALL. KSDS: - has DATA+INDEX ASSOCIATIONS in the CLUSTER section. - has an INDEXED ATTRIBUTE in the DATA section. VRRDS: - has DATA+INDEX ASSOCIATIONS in the CLUSTER section. - has a NUMBERED ATTRIBUTE in the DATA section. ESDS: - has only a DATA ASSOCIATION in the CLUSTER section. - has a NONINDEXED ATTRIBUTE in the DATA section. LDS: - has only a DATA ASSOCIATION in the CLUSTER section. - has a LINEAR ATTRIBUTE in the DATA section.
