A Correct answer
Explanation

VSAM file status code 02 specifically indicates a duplicate key error was detected during an INSERT or REWRITE operation. This applies to both primary keys and alternate keys - when a record with an existing key value attempts to be inserted, VSAM returns status 02 to maintain key uniqueness.
