Hi all,

I have a new requirement like i have a flat file with 9000 records , now what i have to do is , i have to create 90 ps files which should contain 100 records each.

i have one solution like keep on submitting the below job for 90 times and it will create the output files

Submitting 90 jobs is not a good option. You can try using the SPLIT1R of SYNCSORT. Please refer to the manual for details. Even here you will have to specify 90 output file names in the JCL.

You can code a REXX exec to dynamically create the JCL with all the 90 output file details and can split in one shot. Else, manually create the JCL and submit.

I do not see any limitation specified to in the FILES=xx parameter of the OUTREC......
Possibly adding a seq num in input and a large IFTHEN WHEN....Something like:
IFTHEN WHEN seq < 101 BUILD FILES=01
IFTHEN WHEN seq < 201 BUILD FILES=02
IFTHEN WHEN seq < 301 BUILD FILES=03
IFTHEN WHEN seq < 401 BUILD FILES=04
