Using SORT utility we can split the file. Sort card will be
as:

//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTFILE FNAMES=(SORTOUT1,SORTOUT2,SORTOUT3),SPLIT
/*

If there are 10 records in input and these have to be split
across three files SORTOUT1, SORTOUT2 and SORTOUT3
respectively. After running the Job using this sort card,
record1 would be stored in SORTOUT1, record2 in SORTOUT2,
record3 in SORTOUT3, record4 in SORTOUT1 and so on.

1) SORT FIELDS=(20,4,CH,D,10,3,CH,D) OUTREC FIELDS=(7:20,4,C' FUTURE ',20,2,10,3,1Z,1,9,13,7, 24,57,TRAN=LTOU,6X'FF') This example illustrates how a fixed-length input data set can be sorted and reformatted for output. The SORTIN LRECL is 80 bytes. The reformatted output records are fixed length with a record size of 103 bytes. SOLRF (the IBM-supplied default) is in effect, so unless the SORTOUT LRECL is specified or available, it will automatically be set to the reformatted record length of 103. in the above example i have some doubts that a) sort fields=(20,4,CH,D,10,3,CH,D) -what exactly it does and this fields related to output record fields or input record fields b)outrec used to refprmat the records after sorting that means could please reply me as soon as possible Thanks.
