In any VSAM file the last qualifier is DATA, the only KSDS
file contain DATA and INDEX. If any dataset contain these
qualifier the dataset is VSAM only

EXAMPLE. VSAM FILE
TCOM.MNMT.X0060X.DDD.D250510
TCOM.MNMT.X0060X.DDD.D250510.DATA
TCOM.MNMT.X0060X.DDD.D250510.INDEX

EXAMPLE. SWQUENTIAL FILE
TCOM.MNMT.X0060X.DDD.D250510
