Hi Radoslaw, In respect to your post "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 ?" I cannot say whether DFSORT can do it in one step, as I have not investigated that, but IDCAMS REPRO will do it, see "www.kmsitltd.co.uk/fsplit.html" the IDCAMS step shown splits the file created by the first step of the example. It is likely thatif DFSORT can do it, it may be faster.
