If the VSAM file is updated in a job, then definitely there
will be a backup step prior to the update step. The backup
can be a DASD backup (using IDCAMS utility - Repro) or a
Tape backup (using ADDRSSU utility). And if the job abends,
there will be a separate JCL to delete/define this VSAM file
and restore it from the backup taken.
So by checking these utilities presence we can make sure
that JCL has a VSAM file.
More over in our system, we differentiate a vsam file by
including a 'V' as the last character of the second
qualifier Ex: XXXX.YYYV.ZZZZ
I am not sure of the other systems.

1) SORT FIELDS=(20,4,CH,D,10,3,CH,D) OUTREC FIELDS=(7:20,4,C' FUTURE ',20,2,10,3,1Z,1,9,13,7, 24,57,TRAN=LTOU,6X'FF') This example illustrates how a fixed-length input data set can be sorted and reformatted for output. The SORTIN LRECL is 80 bytes. The reformatted output records are fixed length with a record size of 103 bytes. SOLRF (the IBM-supplied default) is in effect, so unless the SORTOUT LRECL is specified or available, it will automatically be set to the reformatted record length of 103. in the above example i have some doubts that a) sort fields=(20,4,CH,D,10,3,CH,D) -what exactly it does and this fields related to output record fields or input record fields b)outrec used to refprmat the records after sorting that means could please reply me as soon as possible Thanks.
