I have a file with length 311.
I have to split this file in to 2 separate files based on the key in the first positions.
This is the i/p file
Code:

1234 asdfgfhnmffhnm
3221 SdfaSGfhdgndgnmxfgnh
1234SgfSGhgd
3221asdafasdfs


first o/p file should contain,that is only the records having the KEY value 1234
Code:

1234 asdfgfhnmffhnm
1234SgfSGhgd


second o/p file should have, the records which have the key value
Code:

3221 SdfaSGfhdgndgnmxfgnh
3221asdafasdfs


In my real scenario i have to create 3 o/p files based on the keys. What ever i have shown here is an example only.
I am facing difficulties because of RDW. please help me...

Here's a DFSORT job that will do what you asked for:

Code:

//S1    EXEC  PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT    DD  SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=...  input file (VB/311)
//OUT1 DD LRECL=50,DSN=...  output file1 (VB/50)
//OUT2 DD LRECL=90,DSN=...  output file2 (VB/90)
//SYSIN    DD    *
  OPTION COPY
  OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT1,
    INCLUDE=(5,4,CH,EQ,C'1234'),
    BUILD=(1,4,5:9)
  OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT2,
    INCLUDE=(5,4,CH,EQ,C'3221'),
    BUILD=(1,4,5:9)

That's a Syncsort message.

I'm a DFSORT developer. DFSORT and Syncsort are competitive products. I'm happy to answer questions on DFSORT and DFSORT's ICETOOL, but I don't answer questions on Syncsort.

    OUTFIL FILES=01,                 
      INCLUDE=(5,4,CH,EQ,C'1234'),   
      IFTHEN=(WHEN=(1,2,BI,LT,54),   
      BUILD=(1,4,9)),IFOUTLEN=50,   
      IFTHEN=(WHEN=(1,2,BI,GE,54),   
      BUILD=(1,4,9,46))             
    OUTFIL FILES=02,                 
      INCLUDE=(5,4,CH,EQ,C'3221'),

krisprems,

Please note, if you are using my control cards as is, you'll need to change the OUT1 and OUT2 DDs to SORTOF01 and SORTOF02.
