By looking into JCL can we identify the dataset is VSAM
(VSAM dataset supposed to be a input dataset).In this
scenerio how will we identify the dataset is VSAM ?

Answer Posted / raghav

Its not possible to identify just by seeing job,
one way to know is try to do hyper Browse on that file, If
it opens then its not a VSAM.

How to do Hyper browse:
Tpye HB on command line and keep the cursor on that file
and press enter, if its a seq file it will be opened in
browse mode.
