what is control interval(CI) and control Area(CA)
Answer Posted / lakshmi
A CI(control interval) is the unit of information that VSAM transfers between the storage device and the virtual storage.
A group of LRs will make one CI.
A CA(control area) is one or more CIs put together into fixed-length contiguous areas of DASD.
