Virtual storage access method (VSAM) Question:
What is a VSAM split?
Answer:
If there isn't enough space in the control interval VSAM performs a control interval split by moving some records to the free control intervals. If there isn't a free control interval VSAM performs a control area split by allocating a new control area and moving half of the control intervals to it.
