| I know it is possible to allocate files dynamically in COBOL. I need to know is it possible to open/edit/close these dynamically allocated files in COBOL, without using any ASSEMBLER routine. Please suggest me if it is possible. |

| I have a huge file , which i need to split into files having 50k records each. The record count of input file may vary . I need a standard process to do this splitting. Suggest me if any other option is available to do this. |

| SORT can be your choice to split the file, however you need to tell teh rules and LRECL/RECFM of the input and output files. |

| There are no rules for splitiing the file. The file is FB / 2000. If i use a SORT routine, I have to modify it every time. For eg. When the input file has 500K records , i have to specify 10 output files in the SORT step. But the next time the input file may have 1000K records. This time i cannot use the same SORT since i need 20 output files. I need to split the files using a process , irrespective of the record count. I have achieved this using ASSEMBLER . But I need some other option , other than ASSEMBLER. |

| Hi Anuj, The JCL present in the link splits file based on the INCLUDE condition. In my case there is no condition. I have to split the files based on record count only. Each file should have 50k records. |
