needs to know the type of VSAM data set being accessed. By using the following
information, which is displayed by the DSPFD command, it is possible for the <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> user to make this decision:
</p>
<ul><li>If the type of file is logical, the VSAM data set is a VSAM path.</li>
<li>If the type of file is physical and the access path is keyed, the VSAM
data set is KSDS.</li>
<li>In all other cases, the VSAM data set is either an RRDS or an ESDS. If
the <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> user must know
whether it is an RRDS or an ESDS, the CICS<sup>®</sup> system programmer should be contacted.</li>
