These two concepts are unrelated.Spanned records are those that are written across two blocks.SHROPTS determine how simultaneous reads & writes on the same CI.

RE: Explain the concept behind spanned records & SHAREOPTS ?
These two are different concepts which are not related to each other.

Spanned records: when ever one new record is required to insert in to a CI if the free space present in the CI is not sufficient for this entry. then the new record will occupy tyhe free spacein the old CI and the remaining part of record will occupy the space in new CI this process is called Spanning of Records.

Share options is not hing but process allowed for multiple users to do I/O operaqtions on datasets.

please revert me if i am wrong incase.
