I'm generating sort card in one file in 1st step. The length of file is 158.
I'm going to use this (158 length file) in next step. As we know sort cannot take that much length. I need to split that file.
How can i do...?

[puttu]

For Example:
Input file:
INCLUDE COND=(82,6,PD,EQ,0,AND,249,10,CH,GT,C'2010-02-08',AND,249,10,CH,LT,C'2010-02-02',1,16,CH,A,87,4,ZD,D)

above sort condition will be in single record in file.

Output file should be:
INCLUDE COND=(82,6,PD,EQ,0,AND,
249,10,CH,GT,C'2010-02-08',
AND,249,10,CH,LT,C'2010-02-02',
1,16,CH,A,87,4,ZD,D)

In this way i need.

I need output file as above.

Why not build it properly in the first place?
the way you are going at it,
you will build your 'too large' sort statement,
and then always each time have to create custom sort control statements
to manipulate the output of your poorly designed and developed useless-sort-card generator
