Hi,

I have a File with 1000 records. After some records this file has value 'SPLIT' in the position 10-14. I want to split this file in to two files.

The data in the first file has to be from record 1 to till the record with the value 'SPLIT' in the position 10-14.
The Data in the second file has to be the remaining records (after the record with the value 'SPLIT' in the position 10-14 to end of the file).

I know we can do this very easily using the EASYTRIEVE. but i want to is this possible using the SORT.

Can some one please help me.

This is my first post, Please excuse me if there are any mistakes.

Thanks You.

any mistakes

First, you have datasets, not files.
Second, you have given no definition of the dataset - LRECL, RECFM

You use WHEN=GROUP to identify the SPLIT in the correct position, and PUSH the S from SPLIT. Then use two OUTFILs, one with INCLUDE= for the S, and an BUILD to drop off the extra byte, and other with SAVE, and the same BUILD,
