Dataset attribute groups VSAM criteria

If a dataset attribute group includes an attribute associated exclusively with VSAM datasets, then the dataset attribute group contains only VSAM datasets. For example, if you specify a value for CI_Size (control interval size), then the dataset attribute group consists of VSAM datasets that meet this and all other attribute criteria specified for the group.
