Hi,

I have an I/P file with zillions of records and I need to copy every 5th record to the O/P file. Is there a way to achieve this using SORT?

File is 80 byte length and is FB

Thanks,
Martin

Here's a DFSORT job that will do what you asked for:

Code:

//S1    EXEC  PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT    DD  SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=...  input file
//SORTOUT DD DSN=...  output file
//SYSIN    DD    *
  OPTION COPY
  OUTFIL STARTREC=5,SAMPLE=5
