yes it's posible, search for OUTFIL.

Code:
OUTFIL FILES=01,INCLUDE=(CONDITIONFORHEADER)
OUTFIL FILES=02,INCLUDE=(CONDITIONFORDETAILS)
OUTFIL FILES=03,INCLUDE=(CONDITIONFORTRAILER)

Hi All,

Below is the example for my input file.

AC325644120080410130356 ----- Header
4521356 0 200804090001 ----- Record 1
4512345 1 200803310000 ----- Record 2
AC325644120080410130628 ----- Trailer

Now I want to split above file into three output files such as
Header in File 1
Record 1 and Record 2 in File 2
Trailer in File 3

Is this because you want to sort the records between the header and trailer but keep the header / trailer seperate to rebuild the file after sorting ?

Hi,

if your requirement is to sort records of a file between header and trailer.
Then u need not split the file, u can directly do that using IFTHEN OVERLAY of ICETOOL

copy the file into a tempory file,
while copying that
overlay '0' for the header record at end of record say at 81st position
overlay '1' for the detail record same position as above
overlay '2' for the trailer record same position as above


now in the sort card give the 81st postion as primary key and secondary key as the sort field of detail record.

if u want any other info regarding IFTHEN OVERLAY, refer ICETOOL manual or SORT TRICS book, which u can find in this forum stickys

Thanks,
Pavan Hassaji.

There is no need to split the input to accomplish the requirement.

Hari, i'd suggest you become familiar and comfortable with the "SEARCH" feature (near the top of the page).

Here is one of the topics you could have found:http://ibmmainframes.com/viewtopic.php?t=23773&highlight=detail+header+trailer

With z/OS DFSORT V1R5 PTF UK90013 (July, 2008), you can now use DATASORT to sort the records between a header and a trailer quite easily.

For complete details on the new DATASORT function and the other new functions available with PTF UK90013, see:
