Hi,

I have an unload file of an ims database of 10500 VB length.I have to split the contents of seg3 and seg4 record contents in to 5 records each and i have to write under the seg3 & seg4 records

For example:If Seg3 record is of 10500 length, then let first 500 bytes be in seg3 and each 2500 bytes splitted and written to a separate record with header SEG31,SEG32,seg33,seg34 and same for seg4 records under the respective parent records.I can write a pgm for it,but it seems that sort will do better than the pgm.Please let me know how to perform this using sort tool.

Input file format:
seg0 Data
seg1 Data
Seg2 Data
seg3 Data
seg4 Data
seg5 Data
seg6 Data
seg7 Data


Output file:

seg0 Data
seg1 Data
Seg2 Data
seg3 Data
seg31 Data
seg32 Data
seg33 Data
seg34 Data
seg4 Data
seg41 Data
seg42 Data
seg43 Data
seg44 Data
seg5 Data
seg6 Data
seg7 Data




cheers,
vj
