Hi,
By using SORT OUTFIL I am writing output to multiple files from a single input file, now in each file I want to add EOF as a trailer. I there any way to do this, please let me know

Thanks

Do you mean you want a record at the end of each file with 'EOF'? If so, the obvious way would be to use REMOVECC and TRAILER1=('EOF') for each OUTFIL statement.

If that's not what you want or doesn't do what you want, then explain more clearly what you want to do. Show the control statements you are using. Show an example of the input records and what you want for the output records. Give the RECFM and LRECL of the input file.

yes, instead of using TRAILER1=('EOF') in every OUTFIL, I want to do it in a single statement. Is it possible?

You can use an OUTFIL statement like this to write the same records to three different OUTFIL data sets and add a trailer record to each:
