There are two JCL manuals at http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/ibm/360/os/ and they both document SPLIT. I have a copy of Gary DeWard Brown's System 370 Job Control Language from 1977. In the section about SPLIT, it says it is for MFT, MVT, and VS1 only. The book does also include VS2, both SVS and MVS.
