Radoslaw, have a look at the following link
<http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/storage/support/software/sort/mvs/b eyond_sorting/online/srtmboft.html#org> where it says: OUTFIL: ranges The OUTFIL operands STARTREC and ENDREC can be used to select a range of records to be included in each output data set. STARTREC starts processing at a specific OUTFIL input record while ENDREC ends processing at a specific OUTFIL input record. Here's an example of OUTFIL ranges: OPTION COPY OUTFIL FNAMES=FRONT,ENDREC=500 OUTFIL FNAMES=MIDDLE,STARTREC=501,ENDREC=2205 OUTFIL FNAMES=BACK,STARTREC=2206 Input records 1-500 are written to the FRONT data set. Input records 501-2205 are written to the MIDDLE data set. The remaining input records are written to the BACK data set.

April 2006 09:51 An: [email protected] Betreff: DFSORT and dataset split The task is to split large dataset (i.e. 300000 records) into smaller parts of n records each. n is constant value, let's say 40000. It can be done in several using COPY with SKIPREC x*n STOPAFT (x+1)*n, however this method requires several DFSORT steps. Can it be done in one step ? -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
