That's why I wrote "not so bad". <g>
Indeed CA split is painful (CI also, but the pain is CI/CA times less). However the pain is no longer because after the split data is no longer in physical sequence. That (maybe) was painful in times of SLEDs with long seek time.
What is painful, it's:
a) poor performance *at the split time* - you insert single LR (logical record) and VSAM moves cylinder of data. b) free space distribution. After the splits you could end up with 50% free space. Overhead because of reading almost empty CIs.

Did I miss something ?
