Raj, These options handle the splitting for you, you need to search the posts about dynamically allocating datasets since the final process you design will need to keep allocating additional datasets based on the input.
For a non-production, or a 'I really do not care about performance' solution, I would turn to rexx where I can allocate a new dataset, start reading the input, and write however many records I want to the output file, close it, allocate a new dataset and continue reading and writing records to this dataset until I hit my limit, allocate another new dataset ...... until eof is reached. Existing posts explain how to do this in COBOL, too.
