Anand,
You can try LISTCAT on the vsam dataset and check for HI-U-RBA(High Used RBA). If it is greater than zero then the vsam file has data.
Since you said you have file-aid at your shop you can try this
on the file-aid main option choose 3 UTILITIES
on the next menu choose 5 VSAM
On the next menu specify the vsam cluseter name for DATASET NAME and hit ENTER.
This will bring up a screen with the attributes of the vsam cluster. Once again press ENTER as there is more info about the cluster
If I remember correctly ,some where on the right side you should have something like Prime records
That column will contain the no: of records in the cluster.
Hope this helps...
cheers
