Is it mandatory to use the Dataset Name with .ds and fileset name with the .fs ?
Its working fine if i use the dataset with other extensions also ,but still got a question is there any impact ?
Anybody can share the ideas please ....
Thx

It is a best practice to identify the type than a mandatory requirement. You can consider it something like '.txt' representing a text file and '.csv' a comma separated values.

In Version 6.x, it was required, at least up to 6.0.2.
In Version 7.x, it is not required.
Suggestion:
Why don't you just try it yourself instead of asking us? Create a Dataset file without the .ds extension. If it doesn't do what you expect, and you don't know why, THAT is when you ask us.
