Note that this IDCAMS method requires three passes over the input data
whereas
the following method with DFSORT only requires one pass over the input
data:
OPTION COPY
OUTFIL FNAMES=(OUT1,OUT2,OUT3),SPLIT1R=100000
For more on different ways to split a file using DFSORT, see the "Split a
file
to n output files dynamically" and "Five ways to split a data set" Smart
