Hi All,
I have a IMS database unload with over 2 million records... i now have a requirement to split the file into 3 files with around 700000 records in each file....
I can do this using the STOPAFT parameter....But there is a catch in this... I do not want the parent and child segment to get separated and go into different files....
Example....
INPUT FILE
SSP42MPR - is the parent record and SSP42SPR is the child record.
All the SSP42SPR associated records below a SSP42MPR record until the next SSP42MPR record are the child Segments.....
The number of child segments are not fixed and can be variable
| Code: |
SSP42MPR...123456789QWERTY
SSP42SPR...898
SSP42SPR...899
SSP42SPR...891
SSP42SPR...892
SSP42MPR...123456789PORTYI
SSP42SPR...898
SSP42SPR...899
SSP42SPR...891
SSP42MPR...123456789PORTYI
SSP42SPR...898
SSP42SPR...899
SSP42SPR...891
SSP42SPR...892
SSP42SPR...898
SSP42SPR...899
SSP42SPR...891
SSP42SPR...892

SSP42MPR...123456789PORTYI

If you have your whole file, browse it. Go to about 700000th record. Visually identify next logical position to break file. Go down another 700000. Repeat. Hope that you remembered, or wrote down, the exact numbers.
Then you have some start/stop numbers for whatever method you choose to simply split the file. |

given the frequency of Your posts ...
isn ' t it time for Your organization to use the servics of a paid consultant
instead of relying on free consultancy from public forum ?
looks like You and You company do not have a bit of ethics !
or maybe that' s Your way of doing business ??? |
