Bill, I tried your suggestion. And it did tell me the type of dsn it is - RRDS. Now another puzzling thought comes up. When I recataloged the dsn as NONINDEXED, how does the system know that the Organization is RRDS and not ESDS?

From: willie bunter <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: 01/24/2013 11:25 AM Subject: DIFFERENTIATION OF VSAM DSNS Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> Good Day All, Is there a way to differentiate or knowing what type of VSAM file it is. I had a problem earlier trying to RECATALOG the cluster (the dsn was restored from a physical DFDSS backup) and finally I was able to do so because I used parm NONINDEXED. Besides trial and error is there a way of doing this? I checked the LISTCAT however I didn't see anything. Any suggestions?
