Let's see: I want to determine information about a file. Hmm ... that might be found in the file description. Hmm ... perhaps I should look for a command to DiSPlay the File Description.

DSPFD will tell you the Key order under the Access Path Description section.

If you didn't know that's the entry containing the information then a trivial test would show where FCFO, FIFO, and LIFO information is retained.
