what is meant by dirty read in vsam?..

Answer / Ankush

A Dirty Read in VSAM (Virtual Storage Access Method) occurs when a transaction reads data from an active block that has not been written back to the disk after being modified. This can lead to inconsistent data as the data might be overwritten by another transaction before the first transaction commits, resulting in incorrect read results.
