1. VSAM increases the disk space requirements. For self-
reorganization free space must be deliberately left.
2.Except for read-only the integrity of VSAM datasets in
cross region/system must be maintained by the user.

Answer / nihar ranjan karan
The biggest disadvantage of a VSAM dataset I believe is
that it can be only be created on a DASD. So it obviously
means you cannot use any other media for storage and
retrieval of VSAM datasets.

DISADVANTAGES:
(i)the vsam file have FREE SPACE parameter with in the CI.

(ii)it have CONTROL INFORMATION by itself. that's why it
will take more memory space.
