If your totarget immediately follows the fromtarget, they're triggering on the same record. You need to bypass feeding the first record to the totarget.
Simplest case, you don't want keep the separator records: ... '|fromtarget locate /file/', '|drop 1', '|totarget locate /file/", ... If you want to keep the separator, ... '|fromtarget locate /file/', '|a:take 1', '|b:Fanin', ... '?a:|totarget locate /file/', '|b:' ... For recursion you'd want a sipping rexx stage: Signal on error i = 0 Do forever 'Peekto' /* check another record */ i = i + 1 'Callpipe *:|Fromtarget locate /file/|a:take 1|b:fanin|> file'i 'data a?a:|totarget locate /file/|b:' End -- Mike Harding z/VM System Support /sp CMSTSO Pipelines Discussion List <[email protected]> wrote on 10/06/2015 10:16:57 AM: > From: Rick Barlow <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Date: 10/06/2015 10:17 AM > Subject: Split a file into multiple files based on a string in the data > Sent by: CMSTSO Pipelines Discussion List <[email protected]> > > I want to take a single file and split it into multiple files based on a > string in the data.
