Michael,
Not really. There are ways to get around it. Here is a sample job of writing
to 2 files. You can expand that to “n” number of files.
//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD *
FILE-HEADER-01
DATA REC01
DATA REC02
DATA REC04
DATA REC05
DATA REC06
FILE-HEADER-02
DATA REC01
DATA REC02
DATA REC03
FILE-HEADER-01
DATA REC07
DATA REC08
DATA REC09
//OUT01 DD SYSOUT=*
//OUT02 DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=GROUP,
BEGIN=(01,11,CH,EQ,C'FILE-HEADER'),
PUSH=(81:13,02,01,80)),
IFTHEN=(WHEN=(01,11,CH,EQ,C'FILE-HEADER'),
OVERLAY=(81:82X))
OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT01,REMOVECC,
INCLUDE=(81,02,CH,EQ,C'01'),
BUILD=(01,80),
HEADER1=(83,80)
OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT02,REMOVECC,
INCLUDE=(81,02,CH,EQ,C'02'),
BUILD=(01,80),
HEADER1=(83,80)
/*
OUT01 file will have the following data.
FILE-HEADER-01
DATA REC01
DATA REC02
DATA REC04
DATA REC05
DATA REC06
DATA REC07
DATA REC08
DATA REC09
OUT02 file will have the following data.
FILE-HEADER-02
DATA REC01
DATA REC02
DATA REC03
