| What utility do you want to use? If you want to use a SORT product, which one do you have in your shop (SyncSort, DFSort, CA-Sort, etc.)? |

Hello and welcome to the forum,
It will help someone help you if you define what "split" means to you. This has different meanings for different people/requirements.
As Alissa asked, what utility do you want to use? |

hanifam,
Describing your requirement more clearly would certainly help.
However, maybe one of the techniques described in the "Split a file to n output files dynamically" or "Five ways to split a data set" Smart DFSORT Tricks will give you what you need. You can find these tricks at:

Hi all,
I need to separate a tape file (which has one million records) into some DASD files. |

Yes, we know that. So would you please answer the questions that have been asked.
To help, If you are not sure which sort product and release level you have, then by running a simple sort step shown below, you will be able to find out.
If the messages start with ICE then your product is DFSORT. Please also post the output of the complete line which has a message code ICE201I, as this will enable our DFSORT experts to determine which release of DFSORT that you have installed. This may also affect the solution offered.
If the messages start with WER or SYT then the product is SYNCSORT. Please also post the information telling which version of SYNCSORT is installed, as this may also affect the solution offered.
| Code: |
//SORTSTEP EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD *
ABC
//SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY |
Frank has given you a link to the DFSORT documentation to do this, have you read it ?
Exactly what are the rules for performing a split, is it based on data content, numbers of records, number of files required. At the moment only you know the rules of how to split the data, and until you explain them to us we can not help you. |

To you, this completely describes your requirement. To us it does not. . .
We have seen multiple ways to "split" files. Whatever you want is only one of them. However; you have not explained just how you want the file/records split. . .
Post a small amount of sample input and describe how you want it split. Mention any relevant fields and the dsorg/lrecl of all files. |
