Isn't the correct answer, what parms are used in the DFDSS? If you use LOGINNDD, you will produce a logical backup of all datasets on a volume.
Or if you eliminate the LOGINNDD and PHYSINDD keywords and just use dataset(include) will also perform a logical backup. The difference is a logical brings along catalog information that would be required to perform most any type of restore from it, where as a physical restricts what you can do with the data...

However other parameters determina kind of DUMP. BTW: AFAIK FDR always make physical dump but restore can be physical or logical. And that's why FDR is faster for logical processing.
