Hi,

I faced this question in an interview.

How to split a file into multiple files using FILE-AID? The input file has got 10,00,000 records. First two output files should have 4,00,000 records and last output file should have 2,00,000 records.

How to achieve it using File-Aid only? Shocked

Thanks a lot.

mf_user,

Try this job.
Code:

//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=FILEAID
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*               
//SYSLIST  DD SYSOUT=*               
//DD01     DD *                     
1                                   
2                                   
3                                   
4                                   
5                                   
6                                   
7                                   
8                                   
9                                   
10
//OUTPUT1  DD SYSOUT=*         
//OUTPUT2  DD SYSOUT=*         
//OUTPUT3  DD SYSOUT=*         
//SYSIN    DD *                 
$$DD01 USER WRITE=OUTPUT1,OUT=4
$$DD01 USER WRITE=OUTPUT2,OUT=4
$$DD01 USER WRITE=OUTPUT3,OUT=0
/*


Output 1 will have the first 4 records and output2 will have the next 4 records and output3 will have the all the records which are not copied into output1 and output2

Hope this helps...

Cheers

Kolusu

Kolusu

I have tried your given code but it is abending with Abend code S806 Embarassed The reason is giving as

Code:
The system completion code of S806-04 was issued when BLDL found an
error during LINK(X), XCTL(X), ATTACH(X), or LOAD processing.

A program to be loaded from a system library could not be found.
Program FILEAID was requested on the EXEC statement.


I am having DFSORT in my shop. Can you please help me.

psmadhusudhan,

Seems your shop doesnt have FILEAID.
Please check if you have FILEAID in your shop.

The following link shows how to split a file using SORT.
